My Oils ....... so far....... ;-)


I thought I would show you what oils I have and how I have organised them, first for the 'Top notes':

Grapefruit (Citrus paradisa)
Peppermint (Mentha piperita)
Ginger (Zingiber officinale)
Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus australiana)
Wintergreen (Gautheria procumdens)
Bergamot (Citrus bergamia)


To make it easier to see I put a label on the lid of each oil colour coded so I know what note they are. These Top Notes are colour coded pink with the beginning part of their name to make it easier to see when they are in their box.


Top/Middle Notes are colour coded orange:

Orange Sweet (Citrus AurantiumDulcis (Orange) Peel)
Rosemary (Rosmarinus 0fficinalis)
Geranium Bourbon (Pelargonium graveolens)
Ylang Ylang III (Canaga odorata)
Mandarin Red (Citrus reticulata)
Lavender (Lavandula Angustifolium)
Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea)



Middle Notes are colour coded green

Cinnamon Leaf (Cinnamomum zeylanicum)
Marjoram Sweet(Origanum marjorana)
Tea Tree (Melalueca alternifolia)
Lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus)
Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin leaf)



Base Notes are colour coded blue

Vetiver (Vetiveria zizanoides)
Carrot Seed (Daucus carota)
Cedarwood Atlas (Cedrus atlantica)
Frankincense (Boswelia thuriferaaa/carteri)


The Frankincense isn't in this photo as it is up in my bedroom I am dabbing it on my neck skin tags morning and night in the hope they'll drop off!


So that's my collection so far but I have more arriving tomorrow, and I think that will be it for a while! One last thing to show you, I picked up this Samsonite vanity case from my local charity shop for £3 (they are £95 new) it makes an ideal home for my oils I am so chuffed with it.
