Clove Bud ~ warming, comforting
a spicy sweet oil made from the buds of a tropical evergreen. This is another herb you should be able to find in your kitchen. It will combine well with most any spice oil, as well as neroli, ylang ylang, and rose. In aromatherapy it is used to uplift the spirits, and often finds it's way into oils designed to relive mild Seasonal Affective Disorder. Be careful when using this on the skin, as it can be irritating even in small quantities. As an added bonus, bugs like mosquitoes don't like it, so adding this to candle wax and burning them outdoors will act as a wonderful bug repellant. This oil is also a good addition to any Autumnal Equinox oil. It's scent reminds me of warmth and home, and will add these properties to most blends. Clove is also a powerful antiseptic and lends healing qualities to spell work.

Fir ~
refreshing and clean scent and a classic "Solstice Season" smell. Especially for those people who don't use fresh cut trees. If blended with cypress and juniper, the result is an aroma that simply sings "Solstice Tree" while fighting off the stale odours of shut-up, overheated, winter homes. Add a few drops of tea tree oil to help kill off any nasty germs in the air and you've created a nice seasonal oil base that will help your home smell delightful.

Juniper Berry ~
Its refreshingly bracing scent is reminiscent of the woods, and very "wintery" in quality. Take care to obtain the oil from berries used purely to create juniper oil. Many versions of the essential oil available are created by distilled used "gin" berries - and this leaves the end result less fragrant and more strident in aroma. It is still effective, but not as pleasant.
Avoid

Lavender ~ balancing, soothing, normalizing, calming, relaxing, healing, clarifying, purifying
Most of us are familiar with lavender. It has pine, herb and floral notes, and is relaxing and sleep inducing. It is one of the few oils that is safe for use with small children (in a 1/10 essential to carrier ratio) and even pets seem to like it. Lavender will prove useful in meditations and dream work because of its natural hypnotic (sleep inducing) qualities.

Neroli ~ calming, soothing, sensual
this oil, made from the flowers of the bitter orange, is a heady and sweet oil. It is used heavily in perfumes and is floral, but somehow manages to avoid being too flowery.
