Commentary for Berakhot 104:24
רב הונא בר יהודה איקלע לבי רבא חזייה לרבא דבריך אבשמים ברישא א"ל מכדי ב"ש וב"ה אמאור לא פליגי דתניא בש"א נר ומזון בשמים והבדלה ובה"א נר ובשמים מזון והבדלה
Rab Huna b. Judah visited the house of Raba and noticed that he said the benediction over the spices first. He said to him : Note that Bet Shammai and Bet Hillel do not differ on the question of the light ; for our Mishnah teaches : Bet Shammai say : [The order is] light, food, spices and Habdalah ; but Bet Hillel say : Light, spices, food and Habdalah!

Why, then, did Raba say the benediction over spices before over the light?
