Judging by the stats and Aroma Veil ability, Aromatisse is a great Trick Room abuser not because of its bulky HP and massive Special Attack but also for its move versatility. Not forgetting for being a pure Fairy-type, that alone is strong enough against to stand on its own. Aside from being a Trick Room user, it can also do a full offence role in a Trick Room environment, certainly making it one of best ones to have in a team.
Strength
The ability Aroma Veil is chosen for obvious reasons, it can protect itself from Taunt or Encore after activating Trick Room, but it's not safe from Fake Out users and Sleepers, though; with this, Safety Goggles is a good item to consider to protect from Sleep status or Rage Powder.
Healer ability isn't so bad either, which has a 30% chance to heal allies and comes in quite handy at times. Although Healer cannot heal Aroma from its status problem, but can still do so for its allies even if it’s still sleeping (awesome).
As aforementioned, it can also learn a bunch of moves too. More on that later.
Weakness
Being slow is quite obvious, but it can take some hits thanks to its good defence spread and Fairy-type. However, because of its role, it can be too predictable for opponents to read you. In fact, 90% of opponents will know your Aromatisse is the default Trick Room setter, and they will do anything to stop it such as Fake Out, or literally double team to kill off your Aromatisse.
Ok, maybe the Defence stat is just alright, strong physical Poison and Steel-type Pokemon will surely OHKO it. Which is why in this case, trainers would usually fully pump the Defence stat.

Moveset
Dazzling Gleam itself is not a bad move since its power is just 5 points difference from Moonblast (80 * STAB 1.5 * 75% spread = 90), if there’s one thing that Moonblast have any advantage of it is that Dazzling Gleam will revert back to 80 base power if there’s only one Pokemon left so that’s something to keep in mind.
Aside from that, it can also learn Thunderbolt, Psychic and Energy Ball (least popular). Thunderbolt is a better secondary option as the rest of the moves can’t hit Steel-type very well, and Psychic is great for countering those nasty Poison-type Pokemon (stating the obvious, aren't I lol)
If you want some supportive moves, it can also learn Heal Pulse, Aromatherapy, Wish, Helping Hand and others.
Closing thoughts
Fantastique Aromatisse by Jitterladybug
Any slow Pokemon will benefit being with Aromatisse, it's no doubt as being one of the best Trick Room users in the current metagame. But because I still have my Cofagrigous, I used Aromatisse as a full Trick Room offence Pokemon instead and it also worked marvellously, sending confusion to opponents on which one was the real Trick Room user and able to destroy most Pokemon that are weak to Moonblast, as well as with Thunderbolt and Psychic.
So Aromatisse, I choose you. Glhf!
