@Huma0 Exactly! Smells like grannies, which is what my guest said as well. (I'm a granny now myself, haha) I suspect all our grandmothers had lavender sachets in their drawers.
I do love rosemary. I think scent is such an individual thing- there's probably nothing that smells good to everyone. It's also known that smell, more than any other sense, I think, is associated with memory. All you need is a small whiff of a smell that you associate with something in your past to bring that time or incident up immediately in your mind.
My neighbor's dog rolled around in some horse manure. His wife, who normally attends to keeping the dogs clean, was away, and he's lazy. So instead of bathing the dog, every time the dog came near him he yelled at it to go away, that she smelled bad. I pointed out that the dog had zero idea of why he was mad at her, as she obviously thinks horse manure smells great, or she wouldn't have rolled in it.
I also have a difficult time keeping rosemary alive. It gets too wet and humid here in the summer. I think I'm on my third or fourth rosemary plant by now.
