Morphology

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

Formed by compounding 'strong' + 'scented' (where 'scented' = scent + -ed), so the meaning 'having a strong smell' is directly predictable.

Etymology

The word strong-scented is made of two clear parts: strong ('powerful') and scent ('smell'), so it literally means a smell that is very powerful and fills a room.
