Seasons affect the psyche and physique of humans and their choices for fragrance and personal care. Personal care products required in winter are no more of use to individuals. People want to replace camphor, clove, thyme, ginger, ravintsara, allspice, and basil essential oils used in winter with floral, minty, and fruity essential oils during springtime. Such oils include lavender, ylang-ylang, clary sage, helichrysum, eucalyptus radiata, chamomile, sweet orange, lemon, spearmint, etc. The users fondly add these oils to their diffuser blends, body mists, cosmetics, linen or room sprays, body oils, etc. 

Likely Allergies During Spring

The users also want to prevent allergies that trigger sneezing, runny nose, itchy and watery eyes, headaches, nausea, inflammation, itching, and redness when the season changes. Some individuals experience dermal allergies in hives, eczema, or dermatitis.  Citrus, floral, and medicinal essential oils offer some relief in such conditions. 

Many end products contain fragrance derivatives of natural or synthetic substances or both.  Diverse essential oils are the sources of various natural fragrances. Individuals use essential oils in different ways; they inhale their aroma or steam or add it to topical formulations, Epsom salt, linen/room sprays, cleaning solutions, and detergents. Some manufacturers create lovely blends of refreshing floral and fruity oils for roll-on body mists as well as diffusers using them. The choice of fragrance varies depending on the season, so the selection of essential oil varies.
