      They smell nice, if you put them in those burner thing, they have that going to them.

        Some also do have specific use cases where they work really well, like Tea Tree Oil for acne and nail fungus or Peppermint oil for nausea. Most of them don’t do anything though.

          Clove oil is a decent anti-mildew agent. I have used it in a past apartment, and use it on my boat to knock out the mildew scent.

        See I think they smell awful, and feels like they rip the oxygen out of the air.

            I think it’s straight up a me thing, I find most perfume overpowering etc, Have def been around all forms of oil diffusers etc, always to the same result, I wish I enjoyed them, everyone seems to like them so much.

      They are just allergic reactions waiting to happen.

      Tea tree oil was the only one I think to actually have merit, but I imagine we’ve been able to reproduce the beneficial part of in a lab. (with minimal risk of triggering allergies)

      Wait, are essential oils supposed to be anything more than fragrances you stick in a humidifier thing?
