Since ancient times, scented body products have been used to seduce, entice, influence and heal. The queen of Sheba reportedly used aromatics to seduce King Solomon. Cleopatra used scents to influence the Greeks and Romans. People of many different cultures wore plant essences in an effort to prevent illness and plague. Even Napoleon enjoyed herbal scents; he reportedly used up to 60 bottles of\u00a0Rosemary<\/a>\u00a0cologne a month!<\/p>\n

For me, making herbal perfumes, powders and oils is a way of capturing a little bit of my garden to be enjoyed later. Fragrance is the very heart and soul of my patch of\u00a0Herbs<\/a>, and wearing that fragrance is a way of keeping my garden close throughout the day.<\/p>\n

Even if you don\u2019t have a garden of your own, there are many ways to capture and wear herbal fragrances. Essential oils and a few ingredients found at the local supermarket can be combined to create delightful perfumes, powders and body sprays. You can use just one fragrance note at a time, such as\u00a0Lavender<\/a>,\u00a0Rose<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Peppermint<\/a>, or you can combine essential oils to create your personal signature fragrance.<\/p>\n
