Solution: What's got about an ounce of scents - NYT Crossword

In [What’s got about an ounce of scents?], “scents” is a homophone pun for “sense”; having an ounce of sense is an idiom for not being a dunderhead. Recognizing that, I still went on a fool’s errand and came up with “corsage,” thinking of the fragrant little bouquet of flowers. In this puzzle, it’s a SACHET — or “little sack,” in French — customarily filled with lavender or something else sweet-smelling and slipped into a drawer or under a pillow. Staying on the homophone trail led me to sashay, which is also from the French, but is itself a sound-alike of “chassé,” a gliding step in ballet.
