the smell was insistent

[alpacinou]

Hello.

Can I say a bad smell became more insistent?

Is this good?

As they were driving towards the factory, the stench of sewage wafting from the desert grew more insistent.


Also, what other options do I have instead of "waft"?

 

[Charlie Bernstein]

Yes, insistent is good. So is waft.

- waft
- drift
- float
