Original text
<b>הדס אסור להריח בו. ובו ב סעיפים:</b><br>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:
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.
עבד להושענא ולא אגבהה למיפק בה שרי בהנאה:
If [one of the four species] was made for [use as one of the four species] but was not lifted to fulfill an obligation, it is still permissible to get benefit from it.
