archersangelover in wal-mart they have this stuff called earthly elements by nature's bounty that are essential oils that you can add to unscented almond oil for massages, put a few drops in a bath or a diffuser in your home or office. each box of essential oils that has a spot that you can rub to get an idea of what it smells like. i sniffed at them a couple of days ago & went back today to sniff again so i could make this post.
grapefruit--sharp, almost border-line rotten.
chamomile--tea with sugar in it.
patchouli--i can see why everyone describes this as "dirty" or "unwashed." it kind of smelled like dusty black pepper to me.
jasmine--generic floral.
lemon--light lemony scent. not like lemon pledge.
rosemary--kind of sharp herbal.
lemongrass--dry herbal.
they were out of the following when i went back today. this is from what i recall from the other day.
lavender--sort of like those lavender satchels that you're supposed to put in with your clothes to make them smell nice.
peppermint--minty, but not the strong mint that i usually associate with peppermint.
eucalyptus--kind of like menthol.
