What does Athelas smell like to you? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

For me it would have a sort of lavender smell to it, maybe. With a hint of oak leaf (smells like the earth after it falls from the tree and decays, in case some of you don't know). So a real earthy smell to me, maybe the woods after a nice rainfall.

I'm thinking more so the latter of the options I listed.

First springlike day in late February - melting snow, damp earth and warmth, and also a touch of the early 90's Suave shampoo that came in a black bottle, and a bit of laundry soap and fog. Finally, notes of star magnolia, but only the day they open, after a winter that hasn't been too harsh.

Cilantro.

Maybe also with some pine and that fresh rain-washed scent mixed in.
