EN: Pungent; acrid; strong-smelling
The smell that hits you when you open a container of bagoong or durian. It's so strong it practically has its own personality and might even pay rent. It's the kind of smell that makes you say 'Ang sangsang!' while either reaching for more or running away. No in-between.
Can be used for both bad smells (like garbage) and strong food smells (like bagoong or durian), which can be considered good or bad depending on the person.
