Aroma compound

An aroma compound is something that makes things smell nice. It's like the spice that you put in your food to make it taste better, but instead, it's what you smell when you sniff a flower or a piece of fruit or a candle.

Every smell is made up of different tiny particles that can go up your nose and tell your brain what kind of smell it is. Aroma compounds are special kinds of particles that have a very strong and distinct smell. They can be found in nature, like in flowers, herbs, and fruits, or they can be made in a laboratory by scientists.

A lot of things that we use in our daily lives, like perfumes, air fresheners, and even some cleaning products, use aroma compounds to make them smell nice. Some of these compounds are also used in food and drinks to give them a certain smell or taste.

So think about your favorite smell, it could be the smell of freshly baked cookies, or the scent of a rose, or the aroma of a freshly brewed coffee. All of these smells are made up of different aroma compounds.
