What's the meaning of 香?
I've learn't that 香 means fragrant, perfume and has other meanings related to the smell of something. But than I read this sentence: 她睡得很香 and I can't understand the meaning of 香 in this case.
So what are the other meanings of 香?

I think it refers to a state that somebody enjoys something or feels satisfied with something such as 她睡的很香,她吃的很香. 她吃的很香 doesn't mean she eats quickly. It means she enjoys the food. It implies she thinks the food tastes good.
