Aroma is a distinctive scent, smell, perfume or fragrance that is pleasant to perceive. An aroma can come from various sources. It could be chemical aroma which comes mainly from perfumes, fragrance oils, essential oils, and so on.
Aroma also comes from food, spices, wine, and other beverages such as cocoa or coffee.
Aroma can be useful in everyday life and activities. The aroma from essential oils are used for aromatherapy. When added in few drops to any part of your house, they are used as household air freshener. It is also inhaled from a steam of boiling water to clear common cold.
Again, the aroma in food plays a big role in stimulating your appetite and how much food you can eat. If you perceive food with a pleasant aroma you are more likely to want a taste of it.
In various ways and different forms, aroma is part of everyday living.
