**הדס אסור להריח בו. ובו ב סעיפים:**
הדס של מצוה אסור להריח בו אבל אתרוג של מצוה מותר להריח בו מן הדין אלא שלפי שנחלקו אם מברכים עליו אם לא יש למנוע מלהריח בו:

**Mishna Berura Yomi:**
**It is forbidden to smell the myrtle. Containing 2 paragraphs**
 It is forbidden to smell the myrtle that is used for the mitzvah. Technically, it is permitted to smell the etrog, but because there is a disagreement about whether or not to bless on it, one should refrain from smelling it.
