The scent of a Soul

[sylvar]

I've noticed a funny thing since I started wearing Soul by CurveIt's not that anyone has said "Hey, you smell great". It's just that, by taking a few seconds in the morning to do something nice for myself, I get a little boost and I tend to feel better during the day. (And if I need a boost, I sniff my wrist. Seriously

Yes, I think you are. :)

Some essential oils serve that purpose for me. They help me wake up, mellow, or feel more *mrowr*.

[sylvar]

Heh. I'm all in favor of *mrowr*. What essential oils do you use for what?

[heathrow]

For me, sandalwood mellows, mint peps me up, and lotus puts me in the *mrowr*.

I'd advise hitting your local Whole Foods/Wild Oats/crunchy granola megamart and spend some time whiffing the various oils.

Hm. I don't have one of those. I've got Nature's Harvest on MacDill, right around the corner from Alessi, but we don't have a Whole Foods unless I drive to Sarasota, the nearest Wild Oats is even further away, and I don't think the nouveau trache at The Fresh Market would cotton to oil-sniffery. (Good produce and spices, though.)

[heathrow]

Nature's Harvest may have oils. I don't think that Fresh Market carries oils like that (at least the ones I've been to here in Atlanta don't).

The next option is hitting the next renaissance festival that comes through your area. There are always oil peddlers there. :)

I have a nice little collection and some blends I've made

I'd expect no less from someone with 81 herblore. :)

Time for a bank sale.

By "naturally scented" do you mean "they smell like candles" ;?

[tregoweth]

Hey, I had no idea. But then, I tend to use unscented everything. (Well, usually "scented with masking fragrance," but nothing overt.)

[sylvar]

Well, I've got some samples at home if you want one. Or, hell, I'll spritz you from my jug.
