I was preparing for a short trip. I wanted a small container for talcuм powder. It was of the generic version, no scents. I found a spice container with holes for shaking. I emptied it (cloves into another small container). I put talc in the was cloves container. Wow! On my short trip I had the smell of cloves on me! Ha! I will try cinnamon next time! So, the plastic container retained the smell of cloves and went to the talc. How neat was that!
