not always...esp. not if the oil is one they need physically for a specific

condition, etc... (I loathe eucalyptus...but if I've got a sinus headache,

it's what I " ll reach for anyway, etc...)

but my experience is that folks seem drawn to the oils that " fit " them

emotionally...for example, I carry a lot of anxiety... and my favorite

floral oil is Neroli, the specific for anxiety....

my friend Janice doesn't have an anxious bone in her body... she's just

calm and competent all the time... and she thinks Neroli smells like dirt

I also tend to " bounce off the ceiling " ... go in 10 directions at a

time.... so the grounding of Vetiver is really good for me... is it any

surprise that I love it?

have another friend who never liked Atlas Cedarwood... and life thru her

into some situations where a lot of courage was called for...she found

herself craving the Atlas Cedarwood that she had always hated.... it's an

oil that encourages spiritual courage...

don't know if this makes any sense at all....
