That reminds me of an oft told bit of humor from customers in the Aromatherapy Shop that I work in. The owner of the store makes all of our house blends, (Any of us working there can and do make custom blends for anyone who walks in and wants one). One such House Blend she simply named "Sex." It's a blend of Patchouli, Ylang Ylang and Lime essential oils. I have often heard someone say after smelling it "That doesn't smell like sex to me."
I'm very much into using pure essential oils in many different ways, but I also like to spritz good perfumes under my arms instead of using antiperspirents. The better perfumes are all made with pure essential oils instead of synthetic fragrances, and use fixitives to slow down the evaporation rate (essential oils are highly volatile). Some of my favorite Perfumes: Opium (Makes me feel like, as Elizabeth Taylor said in Butterfield 8 "...the Slut of the World"), Shalimar (my friend Jimi likes to remind me that this was Joan Crawfords favorite), Samsara, L'Air du Temps (leaves a nice scent trail). Some days I use far less expensive means to mask my body scent, such as Body Misters from Shadow and Light, like "Passion," "Tantra," "Ritual," or "Sage and Smoke." But they don't last as long as say Opium (nor are they nearly as intoxicating).
As far as essential oil body scenting, I like strong ones to do the job, but that I also find pleasing, such as Jasmine Sambac (one of my favs) or Ylang Ylang or Rose (very expensive) in Jojoba, Vitamin E and Beeswax. Vetiver or Sandalwood essential oils are also strong and vaporize slower than most other oils and are heady but grounding, sensual, and considered aphrodisiac (as also Ylang Ylang and Jasmine). I love using them, especially if I'm feeling open to some new adventure.
Because scent is my line of work, I have a lot to say about it, so I better stop now before I become too much of a bore.
