Hey!
Cantonese is 'Hong' -> 'Hong Kong' (Fragrant Harbour)
Mandarin is 'Xiang'
French is 'Parfum'

In my mother tongue Tamil the word "Vaasanai"(pronounced as vaa-san-ai) is the word which refers to odor (a prefix indicating the nature of the smell is added before this word)

"Sugandhi" or "sugandham" is used in Malayalam language for fragrance or good smell.
P.S. Malayalam is my mother tongue.
