What smell excites you? An odd, and maybe a little invasive, question I know. But because scent is the strongest sense tied to memory, everyone has a smell that recalls a certain pleasure to mind. Maybe it’s the smell of fresh cut grass that brings you back to your childhood days of playing in the backyard. Or maybe the smell of the ocean draws you back to memories of family vacations to the beach.
For me, the smell of lavender whisks me away to the summers I spent on my Aunt Hilda’s ranch in Montana. As a young girl I would help tend to the buffalo during my summer vacations. In between runs I would wonder the acres upon acres of fields that were covered in lavender. To this day I enjoy the smell so much; it prompted me to purchase lavender essential oil. I rub a small amount on my arms and legs each day to keep them smooth and my nostrils happy.
