Puts on pedant hat.
Essential oils are chemicals! Everything is a chemical and not everything natural is good for you.
Having said that, I don't like the types of room fresheners that spray fragrance into the air as they give me a headache.0 -
Yeah, that is pretty pedantic. I suspect you know what I meant0

Sorry.
It wasn't meant nastily though.

I think I will have a go at making these. I won't buy the chemical scent ones as I think breathing in chemicals all day is a bad idea (this from a smoker, go figure!!!) but I do like my essential oils and like the idea of natural fragrances in my home
Try lemon and rosemary for a real zing but don't use in a bedroom as rosemary is a stimulator and helps memory! Lemon will also kill airborne germs too.0
