Way back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, Coty's Sweet Earth had a gingergrass scent that I loved. Decades later I was still unable to find a substitute in a spray form. (Vermont Country Store has some of the Sweet Earth scents in semi-solid form.) So I decided to buy some essential oils. I bought gingergrass, rosemary, and grapefruit--not intending to use them all at the same time.<br> <br> Now that they're here, I'd like to turn myself into a big lightly-stinky mess--one oil at a time. So what do I do? Do I need to drop them into vodka or distilled alcohol? Dab directly? Ideally, I'd like to create a cologne-type application that I can spray.<br> <br> The oils smell lovely but really intense and I'm not a heavy scent person. All advice appreciated!
