fragrance

Aroma you wear

Fragrance is a pleasant smell, typically one that's delicate or subtle: the fragrance of jasmine, a light floral fragrance.

The word carries connotations of refinement—you wouldn't describe garbage as having a fragrance.

Fragrance also refers to perfume or cologne products: She picked up a new fragrance at the department store.
