Aroma’s

The smell of leather

murky, dank, weather

Aroma’s in the breeze

rotting leaves

Pine trees in the wood

Slimy mud

Lavender blue

Odeur douce

Smells from the chippy

Fat and dripping

Chips and gravy

Going crazy?

Chinese takeaway

Smells take your breath away

Tikka masala

What a palaver!

Why does Aroma's have an apostrophe? In comparison I notice that Smells and Chips don't.
