Some of the scents are amazing, Crisp & Clear, Cozy Campfire & Walk in The Woods are the ones I've tried thus far, however there are loads to choose from.

Those eBay Ess oils are £4. What about Temu? Vat and postage included. Disregard Sale & Lightning Deal. As soon as a sale ends, another one begins. Temu Oils

I've started making my own cream (does pre & post). I use E45 unscented moisturizing cream (very well regarded, checkout the reviews on Amazon, and cheap at £4 in B&M for 500g). I use the pre-mixed essential oil on Ebay:
What a waste of an afternoon. I went to B&M and found E45 unscented moisturizing cream at £7.89 for 350 grams. That is £22.54 per litre.
I haven't ever seen E45 in 500 gram tubs.
I settled for XBC Aqueous cream 500 ml for 99 pence in Home Bargains. I'll try a tiny amount with one drop of Ess oil tonight when I shave.

I'm finding my home-made effort performs just as well as the £7 for 50g cream that I used previously, so I estimate I'll save a fair bit.
I'd like to pool information about essential oils. I bought a bottle of Argan essential oil, and there was no Argan in it.
A lot of so-called essential oils for diffusers are recipes with the oil in question low down on the list, with Paraffin top of the list, and a warning Not To Be Used On Skin. The reasoning being that 100% genuine essential oil from the seed or skin may be good for complexion, but doesn't have much smell - certainly not as a room perfume.
