aromatic plant
Scented garden specimen
An aromatic plant is one that produces a distinctive, usually pleasant scent due to essential oils in its leaves, flowers, stems, or roots.
Common examples include herbs like basil, rosemary, mint, and lavender, which are cultivated for culinary, medicinal, or ornamental purposes.
The term emphasizes the plant's fragrant qualities rather than any particular botanical classification.
