In this episode, we delve into the detailed laws surrounding the use of spices for **Havdalah**, particularly focusing on when it's permissible to smell them and make a blessing. We explore cases where spices absorb flavors, the appropriate use of **hadasim** (myrtle) for **Havdalah**, and the importance of using fresh spices. We also discuss how one can exempt others from their **Havdalah** obligation, even if he himself cannot smell, and address the customs around **Havdalah** blessings.
