The word for today is…

redolent (adjective):

1 : exuding fragrance : aromatic  
2a : full of a specified fragrance  
b : evocative, suggestive

Source :[ Merriam -Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/redolent?ref=goodoil.news)

Etymology : Redolent traces back to the Latin verb olere (“to smell”) and is a relative of olfactory (“of, relating to, or connected with the sense of smell”). In its earliest English uses in the 15th century, redolent simply meant “having an aroma.” Today, it usually applies to a place or thing permeated with odors. Scent and memory are famously linked, and an extended use of redolent to mean “evocative” or “suggestive” links them again, as in “lollipops redolent of childhood.”
