How to Choose an Essential Oil Fragrance for a Man

The above are just suggestions and the oils I like best when it comes to making a man smell irresistible.

If you want to choose your own fragrance you need to know what you’re looking for. What is the purpose you want from the oil? Lifting mood? Helping with relaxation?

Each and every type of oil has a purpose. So always look into them carefully and read all the information you can.

How Are Oils Used?

There are three main ways you can use essential oil;

• Applied directly on the skin.
• Inhaled, by diffuser or manually.
• Ingested, be very careful with this method.
• Applying Essential Oils Directly to Skin

Always read the label carefully. Most oil cannot be applied to the skin without being diluted. You risk damaging the skin and causing pain if you do not use as directed.

Some oils are called ‘hot oils’. This means they warm up when coming into contact with the skin. So be aware of what you are using, and what to expect.

Inhaling Essential Oils

I have covered the different types of diffuser you can use to diffuse oils into air. This is a great way to take in the benefits the chosen oil gives out.

You can set and change moods and create wonderful environments in your home or workplace.

Ingesting Essential Oils

This is where you need to be very careful. It is possible to ingest oil in a capsule, or in some instance with some honey and hot water.

You should never experiment. Only use diluted amounts that have been clearly demonstrated to be safe and beneficial.
