Cool! I quelled a hysteria! (aww *shucks* (now I'm blushing too))
Elaine, there is this interesting thing that I need a biologist or linguist or semiologist to explain to me.
Linden is also called lime, but is unrelated to the citrus lime. I don't get it either, but that's the truth.
I LOVE the scent of citrus, although, my favorite citrus scent is grapefruit. Origins has a line called somethingerother happy day? in a yellow package that is WAY to expensive. But I always sample when I'm at the dept. store. hoping. hoping that someone with moneh will remember their favorite person at X-mas (my sis-in-law).
I also have a few other really nice scents. I really like the scents of burt's bees stuff. I also like 4711 cologne, which is very neutral, and also very citrussy, now that I think about it!
and of course... lavender. the french kind. smells like summer sunshine... and bumblebees... lazy days...

naw, you're not weird. smells get a nice direct line in to our deep seated emotional processing centers. Proust's madeleine cookie? They are not subject to a lot of processing and interference like sounds and images on their way to connecting up with our feelings & memories. (for better or worse) mmm muffins in the oven...
you chilling? today's toothesday?
