I’m what you’d call an average guy. Average height, average weight, and average looks. Very vanilla in many ways and I’m comfortable with that.

But I once made and Aroma Oil infused body cream that was so good that a woman I had just met wouldn’t leave my side.

The Creation

One evening a few years ago I put on a cream that a friend and I had made as an experiment and when to a dinner party.

The experiment was innocent with no ulterior motive (I had a serious girlfriend at the time who is now my wife). It was simply to see if we could make a nice-smelling cream using a non-scented based body cream and a few essential oils that we liked.

I was looking for an original scent that I could call my own. Something that no one else has, and something that can only be associated with me.

We used some of the classics: Rosewood, Lavender, Ylang Ylang (I always struggle saying that last one) and a few others.

You see, my buddy was a ‘scent guru’. I was not.

He loved essential oils and had made, used and talked about them for years.
