About half the tree-life in the woods around here is California Laurel, a bay tree. I wonder how you'd do. I can't stand the smell of pine or eucalyptus on hot days, and I can't smell the bay, so I suppose it wouldn't be horrible.
About the clothes: me: [reads the article out loud] deyo (who hates scents on people): There should be warning labels on those. me: Huge ones, front and back, so any person approaching the wearer would know to turn and run.
bay essential oil gives me a headache. i've used it to deter ants, anyway, because ants give me a bigger headache. ;)
i use bay leaves in cooking all the time without any problems. And laurel wreaths don't bother me. I think it's just the bay oil, which is super concentrated.
it's bad enough that many stores pipe in scents or that factoriess use scented fabric treatments on clothing that is meant to be displayed.
