What about unexpected aromas?

Green Sycamore smells like silage. ...

Southern Magnolia smells like mineral spirits; not turpentine like
Pine. Even the little decorative Japanese Magnolia has that nice clean

Comments? Additions?



Sassafrass smells like root beer--not a coincidence.

I resawed some green cedar of some sort, possibly the ornamental
commonly called arborvidae (sp?) . It was alread cut into firewood
