a smell that comes from any object with the color of purpulish/brown, or brownish/purple. Originating from the word 'puce' and meaning something downright nasty in look and smell. If an object has a peussie smell, then it's best not to eat it.
During the performance at the opera, I notice a woman looking very uncomfortable and having that peussie smell. She departed before the final curtain and ran to the ladies room! She even looked like Princess Peussie.
