Sentence: Adam Reek was no ordinary salesman. Every lunch he went for a run and came back to stink up the whole office. He was so delusional he thought that the ladies in the office were envious of his confiscents and mistook their attention for attraction. The receptionist, Rose Aroma, particularly objected to his stench, as it permeated the entire office and she was afraid people might think it emanated from her. She complained, but the boss reminded her that Adam somehow sold more than anyone else in the office (obviously by phone and Internet)and was a valued employee of distinktion. Yes, thought Rose, rank has it's privileges.

Etymology: Confidence (freedom from doubt; belief in yourself and your abilities) & Scents (smell, stench, aroma,odor,olfactory senses)
