An aroma is a pleasant smell, especially from food, coffee, or flowers. It often makes you feel hungry, relaxed, or happy.
From Latin “aroma,” from Greek “arōma” meaning “spice” or “sweet herb.” It first referred to fragrant spices and herbs.
Aromas go straight to the brain’s emotion center, which is why one smell can suddenly drop you back into a childhood memory. Your nose is constantly reading the air, and aroma is its way of saying, “This is worth paying attention to.”
