Addicted to scents

I admit it:  I am addicted to scents.  I like to have scented candles once in a while.  I had a period where I burned incense.  Now, I do less.  It been a while since I burned some.  I do have some packs of incense.  I am not tempted now because we are in colder season.  Maybe I would burn some when the temperature will be less cold.

What I like the most is essential oils.  I like the scent, even if it is strong.  I like to mix them.  I had some blends under my belt but they aren't all sweet smelling.  Some are strong smelling, maybe I haven't found the right mix between them.  Or I have to rethink the composition of those blend.  I know about some scents are short term, others are for the long term and there the middles ones.  I haven't play with that yet,  I think it would be time for me to play with that.

I don't know why I like scents.  It is like my interest for gems and rocks.  Is it linked with the senses?  The scents is a more recent interest.  Gems and rocks are a more ancient interest.  I really got more interested to play with scent while I took a soap class.  In the class, we were using melt and pour soaps.  We would add essential oils and colours.  It is where I wanted to go deeper in the world of scent.  Well, of essential oils more specifically.  It must be part of a wild side where I would take some control.  I am able to mix and create.  I do have put some scent in the candles I had made.  It had been a wild that I had made candles.

I am not ready to go on to become a nose for perfume.  It is the only thing that I am not ready to do.  Perfumes can be nice to smell but I find it is too much overpowering.  It is not something that I like to use.  I can't put it on, anyway.  I doin't like to put scents directly on my skin.  Maybe perfume is too much chemical and essential oils are powerful but aren't used as perfume can.  I think I prefer to have scent in the air around me than on me.
