NOTES : A body splash, also known as an eau de cologne, is an invigorating way

to

freshen up during the hot days of summer. Pure essential oils have a completely

different character than synthetic perfumes and make soft, delicate fragrances

that do not overwhelm you when you encounter them. Artificial perfumes can

cause allergic reactions and they do not possess the much more delicate and

subtle range of tones that genuine essential oils have.

 

This blend of essential oils is designed to stimulate and refresh but you can

create soothing blends as well. Body splashes also provide deodorizing benefits

and the vinegar is tonifying.
