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.

Is it D. lanceolata that can be used in cooking? We have it in the nursery
but I've never tried it out for scent as you suggest - another mission!
