The steam rising from a pot, or the scent of spices or juice powder, if it reaches the nose of a fasting person, has two scenarios: The first is if the smell reaches the throat unintentionally, then the fast is not invalidated. The second is if the fasting person intentionally inhales it, then his fast is invalidated according to many scholars, and he must make up for it.
