I make hand made aromatherapy soaps lotions etc....I'm always pleasantly surprised at what particular scents my clients are attracted to, and what emotions those scents evoke in them. The ones you mentioned above are some of my personal favorites. They bring back memories of cold winter nights in front of the fireplace, and bright summer days, depending on my mood. Now that we are leading into winter in my area, I'm stocking up on star anise essential oil, menthol crystals, and camphor oil.....aromatherapy chest rubs are very popular in winter.
Nice thread.....

The first time I grew my own tomatoes as an adult, when I started harvesting them, the scent sent me back to my childhood immediately and I remembered being in the garden with my mother, hanging onto her dress. I must have been under two, so that was my earliest memory.
I love lemongrass. I mix it with rubbing alcohol and distilled water to use as a mosquito repellent. Love the smell!
Eucalyptus is one of my favorite scents! My favorite candle is black cherry.
I could go on and on!

Fresh mowed grass is my all time favorite. And the scent of homemade vegetable soup sends me back in time, to my grandma's place, every time !
On the other hand, the scent of smoked herring will send me running out the door in a flash.. can't stand that smell !
Scents do create emotional responses. Cool thread and very original topic !!

Violet, I love love love. Right now, I'm packaging up my Violet Cassis hand made soaps, and labeling the Violet Cassis lotions....should be a good winter seller. Very heady....with smokey musk bottom notes....
I think you'd like it too....
