I absolutely love flowery fragrances and I cannot find any essential oil with the fragrances I want (which are Lilac, Iris, Honeysuckle, Violet and other sweet flowers).

Vice versa I can find many fragrance oils. Their price is typically low, like 6$/1oz (for instance on ebay).

I have read very different opinions about fragrance oils. Some say they are all a bunch of chemicals that can be very bad for your skin, others say that they might not give benefits like essential oils do, but if properly diluted in oils or lotions they should be ok.
I would love to add few drops of floral fragrance oils to the oils I put on the skin from time to time, but I am a bit scared to put something toxic on the skin.

Does anyone know more about fragrance oils? (or has anyone ever tried them on the skin)?

Thanks in advance for any opinion!!!!

Rosanna, Have you tried the Jasmine scent? In Hawaii, they make beautiful flower leis out of jasmine flowers....very fragrant & sweet... Cool

You will smell like the night air.

Hi Stoney, thanks for the tip.
I have not tried SB Jasmine, I thought that since it is recommended for men it is not sweet and flowery. I will get a sample of it on my next order. Thanks again.

Dear Rossana:

Perhaps you've tried this fragrance before, but another option for a light/airy scent that works great for layering is our Body Perfume in Pheromone Only Scent.

Best Wishes,

Dear Rossana,

Where do you get your theology from? "U-turns, going to Hell, etc. Is this from a book?

I am about ready to start collecting it.

$6 an ounce is very cheap for a real plant oil fragrance.

Haha yeah I have been a huge fan of quotes since I was a child. When the Internet did not exist (at least in my house) I used to go read all the quotes that were typically collected on the last pages on all the dictionaries in the house, in Italian, English, Latin, Spanish, French and German.

Some quotes are so so wise!

Now I collect those that I find most significant on a text file, there are several websites I love, such as quotegarden.com brainyquote.com and giga-usa.com. They collect them grouping by topic too, which is nice.

The previous quote that I had as a signature "Remember, if you’re headed in the wrong direction, God allows U-turns!" is by someone named Allison Gappa Bottke
This one "If you're going through hell, keep going" is by Wiston Churchill.
I thought the latter is perfect also for skin treatments Smiler

Thanks! For a time I thought you were a new La Jolla philosopher.

Also, these are good quotes for doing scientific research.

Hey Amirpana,
well that is a little joke because in binary 10 is equivalent to the decimal 2 (it is 0 * 2^0 + 1 * 2^1, that is 2).. just a little nerdy joke. I read it once on a T-shirt that a guy was wearing in my Computer Science department, when I was in school in Florida Smiler

Really cheap compare to an ounce of Asian Oud around 700 dollars.
