Romance is in the Air: Aromatherapy
Many women love romance. Aromatherapy is a wonderful way to fill your environment with the scents that you love. By keeping your favorite scents around you, you can create a certain feel or atmosphere. Romance is a wonderful feminine atmosphere that you can nurture in your home. Jasmine, Gardenia, Rose, and Geranium are all associated with romance and love. If you would like to encourage the presence of love, consider using these oils in your Aromatherapy practices.
