Brachot on smells
- If there’s a safek about the Bracha on a certain smell, one may not make the Bracha out of doubt and therefore one should refrain from smelling that thing. [1]
- A tree product that has a nice smell requires a Boreh Atzei Besamim. The definition of a tree is a hard stalk, growing above ground, lives from year to year, and has leaves. [2]Therefore, rose, hadas (myrtle), jasmine, and rosemary require Atzei Besamim. [3]
- A shrub product that has a nice smell requires a Boreh Ishbei Besamim. A plant that has a soft stalk such as hyacinth, mint, and daffodil require an Esev. [4]
