QuestionI bought a rosemary at the grocery that was trimmed like a Christmas tree. It had lost most of its fragrance. Is there something I can do to revive this fragrance?TorpiTop AnswererYou can try crushing or (very, very firmly) rubbing the leaves, but that won't do much, or last very long - it's best to save that for right before you use the rosemary in something. Also, it might be old and the volatile oils have disappeared.

For example, it could be that any pleasant smell helps concentration, not just rosemary. However, eating rosemary has been shown to improve the memory of lab rats.
