Hi, greatdane, I haven't come across you on here for ages! (Not since we were enthusing over the Anna K years ago!) I've loved evaporating essential oils for many years now. My all-time favourite is lavender + bergamot - just a couple of drops of each in water above the tea-light flame - sooo light, fresh, relaxing (lavender) & uplifting (the citrus). Orange essential oil is good, too.
For a richer, warmer, comforting scent for autumn & winter, I love benzoin, lifted with a little orange, lemon or even enhanced with rose.
Otto of rose is very expensive, as is neroli - but sheer BLISS when one needs to indulge & relax!
Hope all's well with you.
eta: I don't do massage, with oils in a carrier, like almond oil, since I don't like being massaged (gives me a headache.) Do you? If I did, I'd love earthy patchouli + cheery, healing lavender in the oil.
