Abstract

A laundry device is disclosed. The laundry device comprises a cabinet provided with a first space and a second space by a partition; a drum provided in the first space; a drawer provided in the second space; a hot air supply unit provided in the first space to supply the hot air to the second space; and an aroma spray unit supplying aroma to the hot air supply unit. In this case, since the hot air is supplied to the second space and at the same time an aromatic function is carried out, the laundry treating process is improved.
