Question What's that nice aroma in F?

I very recently did a return trip to SFO in F. On both legs I noticed a really pleasant lavender-type aroma in the cabin. I asked the crew if they had sprayed anything and they said they hadn’t. As it was present on both outbound and return trips, I assume it wasn’t one of the other passengers.

Does any know what the source of this yummy smell could be?

I believe dead scorpions have a lavender-like aroma.

Perhaps Felicity Kendall was in the cabin as well? I imagine she would smell like lavender (or Rosemary maybe?)

Elemis balancing lavender toner (little bottle of it provided in the Club wash bag, although by a slightly different name). Perhaps someone or many had sprayed it and the smell was in the cabin(s)?

Slightly OT, but on the way out to JFK last weekend, one of the crew had hung a coffee filter pack from the galley on the hook on the inside of one of the Y toilets.

Probably a more effective use than passing hot water through it IN the galley...

Obviously run out of air freshener.

Do they not give out the Aroma Therapeutics Sleep Enhancer in a little spray vial in F any more? It has a very strong lavender fragrance.

I have done that before...

I find, in the toilets, it is more effective than the horrid air freshener spray that is loaded on the aircraft. I also think the coffee bags smell fantastic, although they taste like crap...
