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

We recently asked readers to share suggestions for Utah's official state aroma and most of you responded: essential oils.

Context: It's no surprise considering two major essential oil companies, Young Living and doTERRA, are headquartered in state.

• 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.

The intrigue: A few of you put forward "lake stink," "pollution" and "inversion soup" — a nod to Utah's air quality issues.

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