This is all, of course, making the assuming that you are working with
the original texts. I'd venture to guess that with the exception of a
few of the research nazi minded (and I include myself among them) very
few people take the time to go back to the original texts or period
text versions. That is what I meant when I said "questionably period."

Awfully strong scent to add unless you're going very light. And then
there's that nasty habit of clove oil being a topical antisthetic.
