Hussein M:

I love it because it looks so English countryside. I tried crushing some
leaves and flowers between my fingers to get a sweet hay smell but
didn't notice anything too spectacular. Maybe the strength of the scent
comes on drying. Mine is the "odorata" too.

Kay Easton:

Yes, it's when dried


Hussein M:

Oh great. Sounds like it produces some sort of scented oil that "comes out".

The scent develops due to oxidation of unscented compounds. Fear
not: no oil.
