Essential oils are extremely important to me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I use only essential oils for perfumes.
I mix all different oils - my bathroom at home is littered with oils; I'm really into natural beauty and natural healing. Peppermint is really good if you put it on your stomach for a tummy ache; lavender is kind of all-purpose - I think everyone should carry it.
The most important thing for me is to really buy the best ingredient.
As soon as science has solved one problem, new ones arise. This is the essence of science, and it applies, of course, also to the field of essential oils.
Believe it or not, I'm a big fan of patchouli oil. I know it's not a universally liked fragrance. I usually combine it with other essential oils - I have many mixtures I like.
I wear Aveda Energizing oil. I am big into aromatherapy.
I have learned so much from India: for instance, the use of aloe vera, which I use, and I find it sad when I see certain arts of oiling slowly fading away.
Oils have the most wonderful effect on the complexion due to their high affinity with the skin.
I like wearing oils. Perfume makes me nauseous sometimes. It's too strong.
Spices, of course, are essential.
