Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential plant oils to improve one's psychological and physical well-being. There's little, if any, scientific support for this therapy, but some people find comfort in using natural scents. Aromatherapists and related businesses seem to have slightly different ideas on which essential oils to use for specific ailments.
One scent that kept coming up in our searches as being very relaxing is lavender. This flowering plant has been used for centuries in medicinal concoctions. It's a common ingredient in products aimed at relaxation and stress relief, such as pillows, bath oils, and lotions. Lavender is also a popular scent to use on clothing so the smell lingers with you for long-term soothing. Other frequently recommended scents for stress relief and relaxation include chamomile, ylang ylang, clary sage, bergamot, frankincense, and sandalwood.
However, the ultimate relaxing scent will vary from person to person. Aromatherapists point out that a person's own memories and associations with an aroma can have a positive or negative effect. If a despised teacher always smelled of lavender, you may find the scent unappealing. So you might start with your personal favorite scents when looking for a relaxing aroma.

I agree with the person who said it depends on personal preference. For example, I hate the smell of lavender whereas there are probably plenty of people who adore it. Haha, sorry, I'm guessing this isn't too helpful :(

That soul isn't eternal, yet commence with cleansing soap and water, then if it nevertheless stinks flow directly to vinegar or lemon juice. while you're conversing a pair of shoe, commence with a solid solid flow from the water hose, then visit the scrub brush with cleansing soap and water.
