Use Essential Oils for Perfume to Improve your Emotional and Phyical Well Being!

Using essential oils for perfume (or cologne) is a great way to smell fantastic, feel great and improve your health at the same time!

Is there anything else on the Planet that does that?

Imagine if you could wear (or make) a perfume (or cologne) that was non-toxic to the body and actually could help you manage your anxiety level, or any other emotional or physical situation.

Well, you can. Read on and I will tell you how!

Essential oils are the original, unadulterated perfume. They have been used for centuries to arouse our senses, cover body odor and invoke gods in spiritual rituals!

It is believed that the Hungarians created the first “perfume” from a blend of plant oils and alcohol. But by the 19th century, we discovered how to create synthetic versions of plant essences.

Since, the synthetics were less costly to create and could be easily made in bulk; many of the “original” versions using pure essential oils were discontinued!

So today our perfumes, like our soaps, hair goods and household cleaners, are simply synthetically made products that further pollute our bodies and our planet!

Did you know that approximately 98% of the essential oils produced today are for the perfume industry?

Yes, so by simple math, that leaves 2% for medicinal or therapeutic use. Perfume grade oils are cut with solvents or distilled through a solvent extraction process to save time and money, so all their therapeutic effects are lost.

But, why buy synthetic perfumes or colognes (or oils), when you can wear therapeutic grade essential oils for perfume and have it all! Why not?

As a matter of fact, I have not bought a commercially manufactured perfume for over ten years! Every time, I wear Joy or Present Time essential oils for perfume, people always ask me what I am wearing. And are pleasantly surprised when I say it is a professionally made essential oil blend! Really?

But Don’t some of the Best Perfumes contain Essential Oils?

Yes, some do. But as I said earlier even when they are using perfume grade oils, not therapuetic grade Most inexpensive perfumes are made strictly from synthetic manufactured fragrances!

Also, Did you know that Perfumes and Colognes contain up to 90-95% Alcohol?

Yes! Here are the percentages for you...

• Perfume/Cologne contains 90-95% alcohol and 15-30% essential oils or fragrance.

• Eau de perfume/cologne contains 80-90% alcohol and 8-15% essential oils or fragrance.

• Eau de toilette contains 80-90% alcohol and 4-8% essential oils or fragrance.

• Eau de cologne contains 70% alcohol and 3-5% essential oils or fragrance.

• Splash colognes contains 80% alcohol and 1-3% essential oils or fragrance.

And what are they charging for these synthetically produced perfumes? A lot of money considering they are perfume grade oils (if that) and they are mostly made of alcohol! Wow!

How do I Choose the Perfect Potion for Me?

Choosing an oil or blend depends on several factors:

• Your natural body scent;

• The fragrance we want; and/or

• The influence we want for ourselves or others!

What is my Natural Body Scent and what Creates It?

Our specific body scent depends on...

• Our sweat glands;

• What we eat or drink;

• Our overall condition of our health;

• The time of day; and

• Our Emotional State!

There are many ways to determine essential oils for perfume. For instance: gender (obviously); hair color or skin color, or time of year.

But Why get so Complicated?

Don’t! I personally would choose a blend or single oil according to the emotional effect that I want!

After all, that is what scent is really all about. When we smell something, the scent crosses the brain-blood barrier of our brain and triggers memories in the amygdale or the emotional control center in the brain. To learn about how essential oils work, click here!
