The morning after a big party I remember the smell of spilt Rum - and lots of sticky spots on the floor - all those plastic half drunk drink cups laying around with cigarette butts in them - and lots of half full beer cans and bottles, aging peices of pineapple, cherries, limes and lemons! And of course the smell of the oil of the still smoldering tiki torches from the night before - you know they will burn right through the next day if you don't die them out!

But the day of party prep in our old house, we had wood floors, and I used to get these great scented oils at this herbal shop on Burbank Blvd. near Lankershim in North Hollywood and use a little cedar wood oil in the mix to give the floors a damp mop before; it was great. And they have a ton of different scented oils there at great prices too. The best floral oil they had was carnation.

And the smell of fresh flowers. Lilies are the smelliest, they get really strong the longer you keep them! Really strong.

Makes me want to throw a party!
