Reply To: besamim that really smells

Fresh or dried out Hadassim work well.
Go to Etz Bakbukim Kibbutz in Israel and buy a cured lemon in a bottle. The smell lasts for years.
Buy a container of Besomim from the supermarket – Ner Mitzvah and others sell cloves.
My favorite is to buy whole cinnamon sticks and crush them up.
I actually know a few people who have no sense of smell and cannot say the Brocha on Besomim so we should appreciate what we have and use it well.
