To me, dill weed has a love it or hate it smell-- I love it! Mixed with other herb EOs this oil can create an amazing herb garden scent that is easy to be overpowering but also intoxicating. The smell is very green and very distinct. It takes me back to those summers back in Minnesota helping my mom can pickles in our little kitchen. Sun drenched but a little can go so very far...
