Questions & Answers about Я чувствую аромат цветов.

What does чувствую mean here? I thought it meant feel, not smell.

That is a very common question. Чувствовать means to feel, sense, perceive. In Russian, that verb is often used for smells too.

So:

• Я чувствую аромат цветов = literally I feel/sense the aroma of flowers
• natural English = I smell the aroma/scent of flowers

Russian often uses чувствовать where English uses smell.

What form is чувствую?

Чувствую is the 1st person singular present tense form of чувствовать.

So:

• чувствовать = to feel / to sense
• я чувствую = I feel / I sense / I smell

The ending -ю shows I.

Why is аромат unchanged? Shouldn't the object have a different ending?
