Aromatherapy Perfume
You can wear a pleasing scent and lift your mood with all-natural aromatherapy perfume. Aromatherapy is the art of elevating one’s mood and feeling of well-being through the expert use of essential oils derived from flowers, herbs and other natural products. Most kinds of aromatherapy perfume use no animal products, such as musks, and use an alcohol base, mountain spring water and expeller-pressed essential oils. The advantage of using expeller pressed essential oils is that they are extracted naturally and not through chemical solvents. The result is an aromatherapy perfume that will make you feel better and give a pleasant aroma.
Some aromatherapy perfume is highly concentrated and should be placed only on pulse points (the places where you can feel your pulse and where body heat can most easily transmit the fragrance). These pulse points include:
• Navel
• Between the breasts
• On the wrists
• On the inside of the elbow
• back of the hands
• back of the nec
• collarbone
Other aromatherapy perfumes are available as lighter colognes, which means that they are diluted and can be sprayed on the body and on clothing. You may also find aromatherapy perfume sets which include a perfume, cologne, soap, shower gel and moisturizer. Since the goal of aromatherapy is to create a general effect on one’s mood by surrounding the person with a particular scent, it is a good idea to purchase candles or oil burners that have the same fragrance or which falls in the same general category of scent (i.e. citrus with citrus, cedar with cedar etc..)
When using aromatherapy perfumes, one should be careful when using blends that include citrus fruits, such as grapefruit, orange, lemon and lime. Putting citrus on the skin can greatly increase one’s sensitivity to the sun, so avoid using fragrances featuring citrus before sunbathing or going into a tanning booth. If you do, be sure an wear sunscreen that will protect you adequately against UV rays.
An aromatherapy perfume that will improve your vitality and zest may include: sandalwood, rosewood, mandarin orange and grapefruit. This blend will also give off a pleasant, feminine fragrance. For a romantic fragrance, try a blend of lavender, rosewood, bergamont, lime, Ylang Ylang, mandarin orange, grapefruit, cedarwood and vanilla. This blend combines a combination of different elements to create an overall feeling of relaxation.
A good anti-stress aromatherapy perfume that will boost confidence includes: evergreen, juniper, cypress, cedarwood, bergamont and sandalwood. A blend that will lift the spirits and relieve anxiety includes monoi from Tahiti, lime, bergamont, sandalwood, Ylang-Ylang and Jasmine. It is possible to put one aromatherapy perfume on before work, to prevent stress, and to try another blend after work, to relieve workday stress and strain.
Since different scents have different effects, it is a good idea to experiment to see which aromatherapy perfume is right for you. You can usually find samples of aromatherapy perfume, just as you can find samples of conventional perfume. You can find aromatherapy perfume sold on the internet and in nature stores. The disadvantage of purchasing aromatherpy perfume online is that you are unable to put a bit of it on your wrist, as you would in a store. You can order samples, however, and those who are familiar with certain kinds of scents can get a sense of whether or not a certain fragrance will be right for them.
Some prefer to make their own aromatherapy perfume from alcohol, essential oils and water. The advantage of this is that it may save some cash, but the drawback is that most people lack the expertise needed to make a truly fine aromatherapy perfume. However, if you don’t mind finding the right fragrance through trial and error and feel you have a knack for it, you might want to try your hand and making aromatherapy perfume.
