Morphology

almond-scented = almond + scent (transparent) = almond + scent + ed

The adjective is transparently built from 'almond' + 'scent' with the usual adjectival '-ed', so learners who know the components will infer the meaning.

Etymology

Almond-scented combines almond, the nut known for its sweet smell, and scented, which means 'having a smell', so it simply means 'having the smell of almonds', like a lotion or candle that smells nutty.
