How did aromatic compounds get their name?
Aromatic compounds got their names in the early days of chemistry from the fact that many of them were oils with fragrant odours, hence the name aromatic.
Aromatic compounds are now defined as compounds that contain aromatic rings.
For example, toluene contains a benzene ring and has a smell like paint thinners.

Aromatic compounds received their name due to the initially perceived fragrant odor of some early examples, but it was later discovered that not all aromatic compounds have a distinctive aroma. The term "aromatic" is retained for historical reasons.
