scentless

/ˈsɛntləs/ adj

Not having a scent, odorless.

Word Origin Scentless combines scent (from Latin sentire 'to feel, perceive') and the Old English suffix -less 'without' — so it's 'without perceived smell.' The word scent originally meant any perception, but narrowed to smell. The same root sentire gives us sensation, sensible, and even consent (feeling together). The breakdown scent+less is straightforward.
