No doubt, summer in the city can assault the senses–all of them. Sometimes, a good scent can put you right. Aromatherapy uses plant oils to enhance both physical and psychological well-being. Lots of people use lavender, for example, to hasten and encourage relaxation. Think of the scent as an offering in a crowded subway, as long as it’s not something nose-tickling or overly floral/synthetic. Essential oils are incredibly fragrant and rarely bother the allergy-challenged. What’s your favorite scent? At some places, you can reminisce about your childhood and come out with a customized perfume. Crayons? You can wear it.

Some of my favorites:

Jo Malone: I would snort this, were it socially acceptable or medically advisable.

My favorite is the cucumber oil.

What’s your favorite scent?
