Does anybody use essential oils?

Men do you use Essential Oils and for what purpose?

• I would like to know what purpose you use Essential Oils for. You might have started because your girlfriend, wife, boyfriend, husband got you into them or just chose to yourself. As Essential Oils seem to be useful for all sorts of things including Aromatherapy, Cleaning, Consumption, Cosmetics, Bathing, Massage, Steam Inhalation, Air Freshening, Creams and Lotions, Hair Care, Diffusing...

  I play with different scents to see how it impacts how people react to me. My wife doesn't like conventional scents and the only thing which is remotely acceptable to her is 'foodie' scents.

I like orange and vanilla and bezoin (which is like vanilla) and some of the pines and spruces. It's hard to make a good 'masculine' smell, though.... I think that the steam distilled oils tend to be a bit 'cooked' and am starting to look at CO2 extracted or similar. I'm also going to see what I can do with homemade alcohol extractions and a vacuum flask...
