The power of smell is well understood and long appreciated.

As we plan additions to the garden based on smell, I got to thinking about all the ways we scent our lives.

Candles, hand soap, shampoo / conditioner, perfume, herbs, cut flowers, laundry detergent / fabric softener, and aromatics of food are some of the major scents as we move throughout our day.
