Perfumes; The Natural Way!


"Natures" Fragrances and Perfumes!
Here is some information and a few Blends for Perfumes you can wear without fear of harming Yourself, Others, or,
Our Home; This planet on which we live.
Essential Oils are given a "Note" if you will do describe their place on a "Fragrance Chart".
A Top note for instance, is a fragrance that is smelled first and fade
s first.
A Middle note is a fragrance that lasts as you would expect, a semi-extended period of time and is not usually a consideration in a blend.
A Base note then is the fragrance that lingers and lasts the longest in a blend.
You can wear a single oil, such as Bergamot, (Listed as one of our featured oils) Ylang Ylang or Lemongrass. Or mix some of your personal favorites together.
Free Livingston is an expert blender and can put something together "specific" to your likes or needs. Her clients call Her and request blends that bring forth the likes of "Confidence" for instance and She puts a blend together for just that purpose. It is a wonderful benefit that it smells good too!

Here are a few blends, if you wish. Be a little bold and try it yourself.

The first essential Oil blend She made was for a man that wanted more cl
arity in his situation at the time. He loved it and Free thought it was a great male scent. This is the blend She made for him, Labeled appropriately enough:
