Distinctive smell in Faro market (5)

I believe the answer is:

aroma

'distinctive smell' is the definition.
(an aroma is a strong smell)

'in faro market' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'AROMA' can be found hidden inside 'faro market'.

(Other definitions for aroma that I've seen before include "Scent - smell" , "Pervasive atmosphere" , "Bouquet" , "Pervasive quality" , "Redolence" .)
