Hungary / Smelling

If you travel or stay for a long time in any country, you will certainly be able to identify specific smells and sounds of it. Hungary is not an exception, what makes it unique, however, is a way ordinary things, such as lavender, paprika, grapes and other herbs have a special, almost mysterious scent here. Nothing is a better example than Unicum, a bitter herbal liquor well liked among Hungarians, also called “Hungarian National Accelerator”. Although the recipe is a strictly guarded secret, what is certain is that Unicum consists of over 40 different kinds of handpicked medical herbs and spices.
