technique in this quote? (1 Viewer)

hey, sorry this is a bit of a last minute post!

what would be the technique in this quote, "the smell of boiled cabbage and old rag mats," from Orwell's 1984? I was thinking of a decaying tone but I feel like there's a better technique for this quote.

olfactory imagery

bruh i got scammed and was told imagery wasn't a technique. like it had to be achieved through a literary technique like descriptive language.

Imagery is a literary technique. Best coupled with the adjective, i.e. olfactory in this case.
