herbal aroma
Plant-based fragrance essence
Herbal aroma describes a scent reminiscent of herbs—the green, earthy, sometimes medicinal smell of plants like basil, rosemary, sage, or lavender.
The phrase appears frequently in wine tasting, perfumery, and aromatherapy contexts: The tea had a pleasant herbal aroma.
It suggests freshness and natural origin rather than synthetic fragrance.
