bay leaves are good and walnut leaves all much better than man made
perfume, in my opinion that is, bonfire smoke, grass the list goes on
and on :-)
The smell of bay is *wonderful* and I use that in church flower arrangements
at Christmas time, as well as in the house. Its bonus is that it gives a
subtle olfactory nudge of the mind towards bread sauce and roast turkey. ;-)
I've never noticed the scent of walnut leaves - that will be a mission for
tomorrow! New mown grass, bonfires and for some reason, the scent of
just-extinguished candles, fireworks and matches. I must be a closet
pyromaniac!
I adore the scent of crushed drimys lanceolata leaves
("wintergreen") and often carry a couple in my pocket. The cut branches
smell wonderful on a bonfire.
