Most aromatic herbs have pleasant smelling flowers or foliage. Oils from aromatic herbs can be used to produce perfumes, toilet water, and various scents. For home use, the plant parts are used intact, often to scent linens or clothing. When dried, many aromatic herbs will retain their aroma for a considerable period. Some common aromatic herbs include mint, marjoram, lovage, thyme, oregano, fennel, lavender, rosemary, and basil. http://www.wvu.edu/~agexten/hortcult/herbs/ne208hrb.htm
