         5 . The clothes treatment apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein the aroma module comprises,
 a body portion mounted to the mounting part;   a rotational cover rotatably installed in the body portion; and   an aroma inserting grill detachably mounted to the rotational cover to be exposed and closed based on the rotation of the rotational cover.   
     
     
         6 . The clothes treatment apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein a spring is provided between the body portion and the rotational cover to apply a predetermined elastic force to rotate the rotational cover toward the body portion. 
     
     
         7 . The clothes treatment apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein a motor is provided in the mounting part to rotate a driving cam and a driven cam corresponding to the driving cam is provided in the rotational cover to open the rotational cover selectively based on the rotation of the driving cam. 
     
     
         8 . The clothes treatment apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a moving hanger provided in the accommodating space to provide the clothes accommodated in the accommodating space with a predetermined motion.   
     
     
         9 . The clothes treatment apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the air supply device is configured of a heat pump. 
     
     
         10 . The clothes treatment apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a water generating device configured to supply water elements to the accommodating space selectively.   
     
     
         11 . The clothes treatment apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the aroma treating part further comprises restraining means configured to restrain the rotation of the driving cam to rotate the driving cam in a predetermined range. 
     
     
         12 . The clothes treatment apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein the restraining means comprises,
 a projection receiving groove provided in the driving cam; and   a projection provided in the accommodating space to be insertedly received in the projection receiving groove.   
     
     
         13 . The clothes treatment apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein a rotational angle of the projection is restrained by the projection receiving groove. 
     
     
         14 . The clothes treatment apparatus of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 a driving cam receiving groove provide in the surface of the accommodating space where the rotational cover is provided, to receive the driving cam therein, wherein the projection is provided in the driving cam receiving groove.   
     
     
         15 . The clothes treatment apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the projection receiving groove is configured to contact with an end of the projection when the rotational cover is closed and with the other end of the projection when the rotational cover is open. 
     
     
         16 . A control method of a clothes treatment apparatus comprising a rotational cover and an aroma treating part provided in the rotational cover, the control method comprising:
 determining whether a driving of the clothes treatment apparatus is stopped by an abnormal condition; and   moving the rotational cover to a position at which an aroma is not exposed to the accommodation space (an initial position), when the driving of the clothes treatment apparatus is stopped by the abnormal.   
     
     
         17 . The control method of the clothes treatment apparatus of  claim 16 , further comprising:
 determining whether a clothes treating course comprising supplying aromatic fragrance to clothes is input, when the driving of the clothes treatment apparatus is stopped by the abnormal condition.   
     
     
         18 . The control method of the clothes treatment apparatus of  claim 17 , further comprising:
