My dd12 wants to set up a "Mary Magdelen's Perfumery" for our All Saints Party, so we're going to blindfold participants and open containers, one at a time, under their noses for them to guess and win a prize.

So far, our ideas are a halved orange, a peeled hard-boiled egg and pine needles. Can you help with some other ideas? We'd like to have six things.

Thanks so much!

Theresa had a post the other day about a great way to play a smelling game.

Scroll down to the part with the salt shakers.

What a great idea to use this for an All Saints Party.

How about cocoa, coffee beans, baby powder, pepper, peppermint/mint.

Also we like to use essential oils on a cotton ball if you have any. Rose would be great since there are so many saints associated with roses.

I agree with Mary about the oils. We have found that oils work best because they hold a longer and stronger scent and unlike a powder you can't actually sniff them up your nose.   

Put the oil on a cotton ball or balled up tissue or paper towel. We just open up our spice cabinet and use what we have there - usually vanilla, almond extract, lemon juice, vinegar, etc.

Have fun!!

Thank you for all these great ideas! Some I already have in my pantry and I'm headed out to the grocery tonight with a long list--hopefully I'll have success finding them. Nothing like waiting till the last minute! Thanks for everything!
