Ways to tell them apart:

- Luxurious refers to something extremely comfortable or elegant, often expensive.
- Remember: LuxuriANT could make you think of many ants in a garden, symbolizing abundance.
- LuxuriOUS can remind you of us enjoying an opulent experience together.
- Both words have the root luxuri, but luxuriant ends in ant like a plant, whereas luxurious ends in ous, which sounds like us when enjoying luxury.
