The short answer is "yes." However, in chemistry, "aromatic" has a specific meaning that might be different from what a non-chemist would probably guess, and many scents are not aromatic in the chemical sense.
Incidentally, many natural scents contain the exact same aromatic hydrocarbons used in some artificial scents.

What is the chemical formula of diesel oil?
Petroleum-derived diesel is composed of about 75% saturated hydrocarbons (primarily paraffins including n, iso, and cycloparaffins), and 25% aromatic hydrocarbons (including naphthalenes and alkylbenzenes).[24] The average chemical formula for common diesel fuel is C12H23, ranging approximately from C10H20 to C15H28
Is oil hydrophobic?

Why do the mothballs in a clothes closet gradually disappear over time?
That is how they work: the insecticidal balls are made of para-dichlorobenzene (PDB, C6H4Cl2), an aromatic which will turn to vapor (sublime) at room temperature. The chemical is also used in urinal deodorizing cakes. Previously, mothballs had been made from the related chemical naphthalene, which has been identified as likely to be carcinogenic in humans.
What are the characteristic of aromatic hydrocarbons?
Principal characteristics of aromatic hydrocarbons are:- the contain benzenic rings- frequently they have an agreeable odor- they burn with soot; this is a disadvantage- the ratio carbon/hydrogen is great
