"Making fragrance oils is really easy, and it allows you to make a personal custom blended oil for yourself. You can take essential oils that you can purchase at online or at a health food store, and take a dark jar and decide what you want. I make this fragrance oil for pain it's called pain free. And I make it with essential oils like oregano, rosemary, tumeric, and lavender, because they are anti-inflammatory oils. And they will help reduce pain and inflammation for muscle soreness and arthritis. So you would take a dark jar, and a carrier oil. I like to use olive oil and sweet almond oil together, because they both have anti-inflammatory properties. And you do a couple of drops of each essential oil. It might be a good idea to get a good book on essential oils, because it will tell you what properties they have, and what health concerns they will deal with. And you will just mix them. You can mix a whole bunch of oils to do a whole bunch of different things, and make it smell the way you want. These oils are kind of strong in their scent so I add lavender for relaxation, also to make it smell better, and sweet margarine for pain. So you can make your own fragrance oil. You can take some pretty oils like carnation or lilac, and add cinnamon, and make a nice spicy scent. Something that will say this is your scent and yours alone. And you can make it yourself. And that is how you make your own fragrance oil."

on 9/7/2009 This is an essential oil blend, mixed for skin use with the use of a carrier oil, not a fragrance oil. A fragrance oil is a blend of synthetic components that are mixed to make scents that can't be gotten in essential oils. The information in this video is not accurate.
