Holiday Collection Essential Oil Blend #2
'Old Fashioned Pomander'™, is a beautiful synergistic blend of clove, sweet orange, rosemary and a few other organic essential oils.
It's so reminiscent of days gone by.  I remember reading stories when I was young, referring to women carrying pomanders around their wrists, while out publicly in the early 1900's.  Bathing was a luxury, you may only get a bath once every of couple of weeks, or even longer in some instances. Bodies didn't exactly smell pretty on warm days, so one had to be inventive, especially while courting.  
Woman would press whole cloves into oranges, completely covering the orange rind, and would end up with a ball of cloves, which are quite strongly scented.
Anyways, after a week or so, the clove covered orange would dehydrate, and the combination of clove and orange was amazing, and just so happened to cover up bodily odours. 
Women would attach beautiful ribbons on the 'pomanders', and even gems on occasion.  They'd also attach a ribbon loop, so they could carry it around their wrists while out walking.  Each step, virtually activating the pomander.
They were very fashionable, especially if one hadn't bathed in a while, and they were quite effective at masking body odour.  They were also lovely hanging in a home.  They smelled so good.
Old Fashioned Pomander Synergistic Autumn  Blend has a twist of Rosemary, that just balances out the sweetness of the other oils so well, and adds a bit of autumn.  It's lovely diffused.
