The answer

FLAIR

What flair means

A distinctive and stylish elegance or talent in the way someone does something, marked by originality and confidence.

Where the word comes from

From Old French *flairer*, meaning "to smell" or "to scent," derived from Latin *fragräre*, "to emit a scent or odor." The sense shifted in French to mean a distinctive quality or manner of doing something—that intangible sense of style or elegance that one can almost "smell" or detect. English borrowed the word in the 18th century to mean both a keen sense of discernment and an elegant, stylish quality.
