About Me

A day of window shopping led to an aromatherapy store. A delightful scent, an impulse purchase, and a late evening spent dreaming led eventually to the creation of Scents and Sensibility.

First blends

After waiting the required two day minimum, Vintage opened the container in which she had stored her blend.  A few more quick runs to other stores meant this was a blend of
-rose essential oil
-sadlewood essential oil
-vanilla fragrence oil
-citrus fragrence oil
and of course 2 oz of the $6.00 vodka.
She was sorely disappointed that it smelled like...vodka.
She waited another few days only to find the wildflower perfume young girls seem fond of.  The scent of rose had overpowered everything, and been transformed into a bland mess of a perfume.
But, we learned an important lesson.  Rose is an attention whore.  It would be another week, and another paycheck, before we bought more essential oils, and started again.

Finally, I had been paid again.  Off we went, for a street fair in a nearby small town, complete with a large soap store selling essential oils.  A whiff of this, a sniff of that, and I decided on a few things of my own.  I wanted a complex, spicy scent.  I choose rose (in low dose this time), patchoulli, and cinnamon. 
I sat in our craft room and I mixed and I blended rather like a mad scientist.  Eventually I used every single oil we had, added the vodka and left for two days.
