Fun question! They look similar, but they don’t sound equally natural. Aromatic means something has a strong, pleasant smell. Fragrant also means something smells nice, usually lighter and sweeter. Fragrance and aroma both mean “smell,” but fragrance is used more for flowers and perfumes, while aroma is often used for food, coffee, or spices. So: aromatic fragrance - sounds okay, but a bit repetitive. fragrant aroma - also possible, but it feels like you’re saying the same thing twice. More natural choices: fragrant roses the aroma of fresh bread the aromatic spices In short: they’re not wrong, but native speakers usually avoid pairing the two words together. Instead, choose one word that fits the situation best.

Great question! 🌹 Both “aromatic fragrance” and “fragrant aroma” sound poetic, but they’re slightly different in feel: Aromatic → often used for strong, pleasant smells (spices, herbs, coffee, flowers). It suggests richness or intensity. Fragrant → usually means delicately sweet-smelling (roses, perfume, fresh flowers). It suggests softness and beauty. So: The aromatic fragrance of coffee filled the café. ☕ (rich, strong) The fragrant aroma of jasmine drifted through the garden. 🌸 (delicate, sweet) 👉 They can overlap, but “aromatic” feels stronger, earthy, rich, while “fragrant” feels softer, floral, elegant. ⚡ Bonus tip: If you’re writing for daily life or business English, “aroma” often sounds more natural with food/drink (the aroma of freshly baked bread), while “fragrance” is common for flowers and perfume (the fragrance of roses).

They can be used interchangeably sometimes. They're very similar in meaning. But the first is more treating the smell as a product, for example, it's more likely to be a bottle of perfume for sale. Meanwhile, the second is more of a description of what smell is in the air, and more likely to go hand-in-hand with a question asking where it came from.
