Thayer's Greek Lexicon
εὐωδία, εὐωδίας, ἡ (from εὐώδης; and this from εὖ and ὄζω, perfect ὄδωδα);
a. a sweet smell, fragrance, (Xenophon, Plato, Plutarch, Herodian, others); metaphorically, Χριστοῦ εὐωδία ἐσμεν τῷ Θεῷ, i. e. (dropping the figurative) our efficiency in which the power of Christ himself is at work is well-pleasing to God, 2Co_2:15.
b. a fragrant or sweet-smelling thing, incense: Diodorus 1, 84; 1Es_1:11, etc.; hence, ὀσμή εὐωδίας, an odor of something sweet-smelling, in the Sept. often for ψΕιηΗΞπΔιηεηΗ, an odor of acquiescence, satisfaction; a sweet odor, spoken of the smell of sacrifices and oblations, Exo_29:18; Lev_1:9; Lev_1:13; Lev_1:17, etc., agreeably to the ancient (anthropopathic) notion that God smells and is pleased with the odor of sacrifices, Gen_8:21; in the N. T. by a metaphor borrowed from sacrifices, a thing well-pleasing to God: Eph_5:2; Php_4:18 (Winer's Grammar, 605 (562) cf. 237 (222)).
