It is a lot more than this, but as one example the word "perfume" in the english language does not go with food. While I know what you mean, I still gag a little as I read it. I cannot stand perfume, or any other strong scent man made. Not long ago I was in the living room at my mother's house and she emptied some old shampoo down the drain in the bathroom, a few seconds after my eyes were burning as the smell hit me. I had to leave.
Strange, for me. The taste cells in our tongue are only able to feel salt, acid, sweet, bitter, and.."umami".
All the other 'flavors' are detected by our nose (smell) ...
As far as I know.
The only way native English speaking refers to perfume:
1. a substance, extract, or preparation for diffusing or imparting an agreeable or attractive smell, especially a fluid containing fragrant natural oils extracted from flowers, woods, etc., or similar synthetic oils.
And only think it comes like this,

I'll stay corrected, thanks.
A little story, in correlation. I was preparing a TV program with famous "nez" (creators of perfumes) in Paris. We were invited to dinner for a reunion in the house of one of them. Lot of dishes he cooked for us were made with small touches of raw materials, flower essences and others, that they use in perfumes. An amazing, unforgettable and delicious experience.
I realized what Tryphon meant. Ginger, galangal, lime leaf, lemongrass, and fish sauce from Thai cooking all qualify.
I dunno...
This is a salad from The Willow Inn. I'd like to try it but I haven't been able to splurge the $200-300 or whatever it is with mandatory tip etc on the many coarse meal. The restaurant appears amazing, but the hotel is lavishly expensive for no apparent reason. They've bought up a bunch of property near by to, since they have big demand now. But they charge like 4x as much as AirBnB with dumpier service & rooms. And apparently the head chef and/or owner is one major ******* - I heard he even had a guy apprentice under him for no pay for a few years. But I guess this is inline with some of the other most expensive resort type things. The most expensive one the US is owned by a billionaire that can't make money on it when people pay $60k for a weekend, they cheat employees on wages and make them live squaller, steal their tips over $20, and then buy $250k rugs for the place...
I love Thai food, but despite the lack of Tofu, I'm not sure that it doesn't all have soy sauce... I just wouldn't go throwing the word fragrance around with it. Aroma? That I can see.

Partially semantics I would describe Thai basil as fragrant rather than just having a smell. I associate perfume with a specific binding of extracts with things like ambergris, no food gets that intense flowery smell by simply throwing in the ingredients. And then there is durian.
I know at least 3 kinds of Thai basil, my nose makes a difference, when eating big taste difference. Depends on food which one matches better.
Somehow like a room match well with a speaker or not.
Yes there is Holy Basil and the stir fried chicken is not quite right without it, the markets are not always obliging to non-native speakers.
I have some Basil Hummus in the fridge... can't wait to get home to eat that, mmmm.
There's a local restaurant here that makes a ginger lime mint soda, their signature non-alcohol drink, purely from scratch. They grow their own mint and man does it ever have flavor like you can't get from the store packaged stuff...

As a native of England, I've used perfume in relation to the scent/aromas of flowers, wine and food
I would suggest to follow the "food thread" to get an idea.
Beside, that "food thread" is one of the best mannered threads on this website.
Here is some data from a cheap 3.8inch cone car driver with a 5.4oz ceramic magnet.
gap height=2.6mm
coil height=3.5mm (slightly overhang)
coil inner diameter=15mm

It does not. Very few dishes use soy. Fish and oyster sauce is most common with Thai's. When soy is used, it is a small amount -- like a spoon full.
Typical menus --- Food in Thailand - Thai Food, Thai Cuisine - traditional, popular, dishes, recipe, diet, history, common, meals, staple
NOTE: American-ized versons of Chinese, Thai etc are not the same as you find in those countries.... with only a few exceptions.
