Guest guest Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Pretty much says it all! I used to love the smell when I was really young. Now I am wondering, is oil made from real heather or is it a fragrance blend? Thanks! RObin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only seen it as a FO. Anya http://member.newsguy.com/~herblady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work as an Aromatherapist and I use it in blends and creams etc for its analgesic properties, great for arthritic knees and tired legs. It does not have any particular fragrance.

I was all over Scotland in June of 2002 - hiking off trail etc. Saw all kinds of heather, smelled it, picked it, never noticed it had a floral, or otherwise aromatic scent. To be fair, I think it blooms in sept. or so, so I didn't experiece that. But I remember thinking at the time why are there so many heather-esque fragrances out there? Maybe it's a romantic notion.... Maybe people really want to have a scottish/celtic identity scent? I have a dried sprig I took away from Culloden Moor - I'll go revisit it and see if that dried old twig has any smell left. JenB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
