I never have known what it was, in fact, just yesterday I ordered an essential oil of sweetgrass to see if that's what it is. This kid says the smell is sweet clover. I'm telling you... Gunsmoke is magic.
So I got the essential oil today...
Sweetgrass.
My absolute favorite smell of any kind.
No food smells better than this, no perfume or cologne or anything.
And I've been told before that the smell is "grass"...
I guess technically that was true. But it's not just basic freaking grass, lol.
It's SWEET grass.
It's just...
A REALLY strange feeling to have one of my life's longest standing questions finally answered.
The answer to one of the most sacred things (for me), no less.
This smell has always been like a "STOP everything you're doing, and smell this smell for as long as the wind carries it" kinda thing. Like, breathe as deep as you possibly can and THANK GOD in this moment.
A hardcore, profound reverence.
It's no wonder that many native cultures have held sweetgrass as sacred throughout time...

It's one of the "Four Sacred Medicines"...

The four are sage, cedar, tobacco, and sweetgrass.
It's just amazing.
Not only to finally have this answer, but to have it validated by GUNSMOKE of all things...
Just the day after going off a hunch and tracking down this essential oil, I hear it mentioned in the show. And they didn't say it was sweetgrass, they called it sweet clover, but still... it's a synchronicity relating to this lifelong question I've had.
It's fascinating, and I do wonder what it all means. It just feels like a gift from God.
