Difference between fragrance and aroma

Both refer to pleasant smells: while aroma refers more to plants, spices and food, fragrance is more associated with perfume and flowers.

Fragrance has a positive connotation. Flowers are fragrant. The others we would qualify: he had a fowl aroma, that has a nice scent.

........

Fragrance = strong smell, like a flower or perfume

Aroma = generally good smell, as in baking

Smell = anything, good or bad

I don't hear scent used, I believe it's not common in reference to smells

Thank you for all of that
 I found the word " scent" on the air freshener the same as I  found aroma, so I got confused.
Maybe there is a deeper difference between them
