Interesting. When I was a kid, I would chew pine sap which made a pretty good chewing gum and I ended up smelling like a pine tree.

The odor of pinesap is refreshing and so is the smell of frankincense which is also the sap of a tree.

Just yesterday in my daily walk through the woods with my dogs, I was reminded, as a kid, seeing slash marks and the galvanized rosen collectors under the slash marks on the pine trees. I was told that collecting pine rosen was some sort of war-time effort. I also remember the tung orchards (that are no longer ) from that period and for the same reason.(War effort)

Tung Ave is an artifact of that period....there's not a tung tree to be found in the area.

You can drink straight gin and end up smelling the same.
