Wafts is a verb meaning to float, glide, or be carried gently through the air or by wind, often referring to a smell, scent, or scent-like cue. It conveys motion that is light and drifting, not forceful. In context, one might say a fragrance wafts from the bakery or smoke wafts over the hillside, suggesting a subtle, pervasive presence.
