I love aromatherapy and what I do is buy essential oils and create my own mixtures in roll-ons, which I also give as presents. Using a carrier oil such as almond or coconut oil, one can put a few drops of whichever oil or combination one feels like - it's bringing the power of plants and nature into our body and senses.

Not only the impact of the fragrance, but the physiological effects can be absorbed in this way. Thus we can totally ditch the chemical-based, ridiculously priced stuff that relies on massive marketing drives and opt out of the entire capitalist framing of perfumery.
