Bay / Laurel

Compiled from the Note Identification Project thread:

Bay (EO, origin unknown)--3 drops on cotton, wafted
Sweet, spicy, woody and nutty. My sample is old, but a recognizable sweet bay scent still comes through. After a while, the spicy wood increases, and the sweetness decreases.

Bay - slightly minty, very earthy. Smelled great in combination with rose.

My bay leaf essential oil smells so delicious. It reminds me completely of Thanksgiving and my aunt's stuffing which was always heavy on the bay leaf. Just really cleansing, herbaceous, dry and round.
