non-aromatic

Lacking any smell

Non-aromatic describes something lacking a distinct smell or fragrance: non-aromatic herbs, a non-aromatic cleaning solution.

In chemistry, non-aromatic compounds are those that lack the ring structure and electron configuration that define aromatic molecules—they don't meet the criteria for aromaticity established by Hückel's rule.
