Am I the Only One-Lavender

Am i the only one that dislikes the scent of Lavender? I cannot stand it lol.

One time a friend got me some lavender scented products for Christmas, and I had to give them all away, I had never tried any lavender until that time.

@spud188 I havent smelled dried eucaplyptus but do use the oil when i put it in hot water to make steam, to breathe in, for sinus congestion.

I'm sure you're not the only one. I like it, but it has to be a quality lavender. It can be "funny," with a sharp, off-putting smell, rather than a beautiful fragrance.

Stink bugs hate lavender spray, which makes things easier around here twice a year lol.

Count me in on not liking the scent of lavender. If I receive soaps as gifts that are lavender scented i give them to those who like that scent. However, I do love the color lavender!!!!!

I like lavender in limited amounts. When paper towels where hard to get from the store I placed a delivery order for HEB. I got some paper towels that had lavender scent on the cardboard. They were disgusting. Ugh!

Do not like Lavender. By mistake once purchased lavender sented dog p**p bags, not a good combination.

I think lavender is beautiful but I can't stand the smell of it. I also don't like any floral scents in perfumes, soaps etc.

Poor quality synthetic lavender, or oils will turn you off the scent -- forever. In modest amounts, high quality oils can be quite nice and soothing, but I've experienced so many bad formulas, that I'm scared of them now.

Lavender isn't annoying to me when it's a plant, but smells different once cut or in oil form. Don't like that or eucaplyptus. I'll add gardenia to my list. That's the worst for me. I have to walk out of a room.

I have a friend who is really into essential oils. When I was going through an especially hard time, she sent me a plug-in diffuser and lavender oil saying it would help my anxiety and depression. I tried it and couldn't stand the smell so I shut it off and never used it again. Good thing because I later read that lavender can interfere with blood pressure medication which I do take. Who knew?

I keep looking it since it is calming. Hate it. Perhaps I am beyond calming.

I am not a big fan of it either.

Growing in a garden it is fine but I don't like the scent otherwise.
