Madame Aroma is the wife of Mayor Dotour and the mother of Kafei. Since Kafei's disappearance, she has been trying to locate him.[5] She is in charge of the activities taking place during the Carnival of Time and is busy working with Toto and Gorman for the majority of the three day period.[6] She hires Link to investigate the disappearance of her son and gives him the Kafei's Mask, which she made herself,[7] so that he is able to question townspeople regarding Kafei's whereabouts.[8] To receive the mask, Link must visit her in the Mayor's Official Residence any time after 10:00 AM on the First or Second Day.
During the Reuniting Kafei and Anju sidequest, Link receives the Special Delivery to Mama from the Postman, which most be delivered to Madame Aroma in the Milk Bar after 6 PM. By wearing Kafei's Mask, Link can hand over the letter to her, who in return will reward Link with a Bottle full of Chateau Romani. In Majora's Mask 3D, giving her the letter again will result in her giving him a Fishing Hole Pass. She is last seen attending her son's wedding during the ending credits.

Trivia[]
- Madame Aroma is one of the few Majora's Mask characters that does not have an Ocarina of Time counterpart.
- Mrs. Ruul from Oracle of Seasons, Mrs. Marie from The Wind Waker, and Tina and Dina from The Minish Cap all share a similar hairstyles with Madame Aroma.
- In the non-canon Majora's Mask demo, Cremia refers to Madame Aroma as her aunt.[9] In the final release, she simply calls her a middle-aged woman.[10]
- The change was likely made in order to fix a mistranslation. In Japan, as well as other East Asian cultures, the word for "aunt" can be used to refer to any middle-aged woman even if they are not related to the speaker.
