one could move the "pleasantly invigorating" to the end of the statement "..the aroma is pleasantly invigorating" / or a different phrasing altogether.. "feels great and invigorates."/ or make it a headline - a pleasant aroma that invigorates..

Invigorate yourself with this pleasant aroma:(!)
Try this pleasant and invigorating aroma
experience an invigorating and pleasant feeling
