redolently

In aromatic fashion

Redolently means in a manner that is fragrant or evocative.

The word derives from redolent, which describes something strongly suggestive or reminiscent of something else: The old library smelled redolently of leather and wood polish.

It can also describe evoking memories or associations: Her prose redolently captures small-town life in the 1950s.
