Utah's (unofficial) aroma is essential oils, readers say

• Brian L. suggested "lavender and patchouli, the scents that dominate downtown during the Young Living and Doterra conventions."
• Meanwhile, Braley D. said: "Every essential oil. All at once."

Driving the news: The question came after New Mexico lawmakers openly considered legislation to make the green roasted chile their state's official scent.

• Colt S. suggested "creosote after a desert rainstorm. There is no better smell."
• Lou D. recommended fry sauce or honey.
