Always bums me out because I like essential oils, just because they smell good. I feel weird having them though, multiple occasions of friends letting me know "you know those don't really work right?" And me being confused momentarily trying to figure out what they could possibly mean (it's like saying a candle doesn't work in my brain) until remembering a fuck load of people think it's medicine.
Funnily enough that's their main purpose throughout history, and while people always gave some medicinal properties attached to it (probably because before industrialization it would take even more work to extract the stuff), it's always been used for perfumes.
