Really, there is no difference, scented mean aromatic. They are the same words, indicating the same thing... something that appeals to the nose or olfactory senses. Some people want to dicker about GH&co scented selections not being in the same category as aromatics, because of stereotypes about aromatics being for girls, beginners, and small children. But, really the only differences is the actual chemicals used, not the category. Think of GH&co blends as being aromatics for men... which are made with a French whore's perfumes, which is ironic, I know. Ha ha.
