When both myrtle and a fragrant oil are brought to smell and their blessings differ, what order should one bless?
Synopsis
When myrtle and oil have the same blessing, myrtle's blessing covers the oil. When their blessings differ, one blesses the myrtle first because it is considered more significant as a natural intact plant.
