A positive alternative to "smelling" to describe something with a pleasant odor

When one hears that something smells, one would generally assume that it smells bad.

Isn't there a word which wouldn't bring to mind the idea of a bad odor? For example, how would you describe pot-pourri (assuming you like the smell of pot-pourri)? If possible, I would like an adjective, or a word that could takes the place of an adjective.


How about fragrant or scented? Or you could try sweet-smelling, floral or something else referring to the specific scent.


How about using the word aromatic?
