Aroma Poetry

Mother nature oh! Rose of roses! Mother of all flowers' and smell, Ylang Ylang! You don't know what it causes! An aphrodisiac turns you on like hell! Sandalwood with its masculine warmth poses, Rosemary clears the head, you can tell, Peppermint purifies blocked noses, Patchouli the meditative, it does sell, Orange oil refreshing, stimulates since Moses, Chamomiles in variety and bluebell, Mandarin the sweet floral in few doses, Helps you digest and makes feeling very well, Marjoram helps a positive mood, In creating and lemon oil reduces the stress, Lavender the cleansing oil is surely good, Juniper Berry soothes and tones the muscles in mess, Geranium the relaxing prepares you for action, Cypress oil relaxes you twice and once again, Cedarwood calms and makes ready for attraction, Basil oil with prairie's odours is the main, With Myrtle the antiseptic and carminative, And Niaouli the beverage that it was, For Neroli, the aphrodisiac is very active, Origanum, Pimento, Pine oil and Rose, Pettigrain, this is a citrus vulgaris, Calms anger and refreshes the mind, And the sedative, hypotensive Amyris, With Angelica the stimulation you will find, The Aniseed, Pimpinella anisum, An antiemetic, diuretic and an insecticide, Likewise in Anise-star, illicium verum, All the same remedies you will find, Laurus Nobilis, this is Bay-leaf oil, Analgesic, cholagogue and hepatic, In sweet styrax, Benzoin when you boil, Vanilla flavour, a deodorant and cephalic, Citrus Bergamia, Bergamot like orange, An uplifting in character for anxiety, In Birch tar, Betula Lenta you need courage, To kill pain and thank the Lord Almighty, Black Pepper, piper nigrum spicy sharp, Cajuput oil, the herbaceous and penetrating, In a singing-like circle with a harp, Helps the heart, and respiration in circulating, Cinnamomum Camphora that's Camphor, Since Chrosroes the Babylonian King the wise, Surely was part of civilisation and folklore, For the Eastern powers that fall and rise! Caraway, Carum Carvi is sweet! And a flavouring agent in all your food, Adding it when marinading your meat, Aromatise the entire dish that will be good! Cardamom, Elettaria yellow flower and pale, Very spicy and digestive from the East, The Arabs praise it in their coffee call it "Hail", And the Romans took it after each great feast, Carrot-seed, Daucus carota has a past, In skin diseases, teeth and gums and the sight illness, Its effect on red blood cells is very fast, With the right blends it surely helps the body fitness, Apium Graveolens, celery is fresh and warm, That was a symbol of funerals, death and grief, It was believed in ancient Egypt nay in Rome, To cure swollen limbs and to relieve, Cymbopogon Nardus that's Citronella, In wax candles helps mosquitos to disappear, Its oil is used to beautify and make the "Bella", In look and smell and feeling...what's more to hear?? Clove, coriander and clary Sage, Cumin, Elemi and Dill, Thousands of oils won't fill the page, Eucalyptus and Fennel they heal, Fir, Frankincense and Galbanum, Garlic, Ginger and Grapefruit, Guaicwood, Hyssop and Helichrysum, This is immortelle oil to suit, Jasminum, the waiting King at the doors, A perfume for lovers to indicate, A seduction imported by the moors, To Spain, then Europe to fabricate, Its uses along with Lavandin, This hybrid of true Lavender and spike, Was exploited in soap trade to begin, Then turned to perfume-making and the alike, Lemongrass is a very reviving, And Lime, this citrus medica, It does match when mixed with Mandarin, And with Nutmeg could be a "replica," Linden Blossom oil is a slightly spicy, Litsea Cubeba is a floral and fruity, In Melissa, the honey-bee you fancy, And Myrrh the musky, symbol for beauty, Palmarosa, they say "clarifies the mind, And Parsley was named after "Petros, In Pine oil, good feelings you will find, Rosemary has affected "Ethos", Rosewood, this "Bois de rose", A "Jacaranda" is known in Brazil, A real deodorant in dose! Sage was believed in Rome "To heal," Pimento is known as "Allspice, And Santolina is still a pillar in medicine, With Spearmint the smell is very nice, In Tagetes the citrus flavour is never lasting, Tangerine the hypnotic and Tarragon, Terebinth the balsamic the vermifuge, Thyme the thymus vulgaris that was born, From the tears of Helen-Troy that grew huge, Tea-Tree oil is sanitary Australian, Verbena makes a love potion pot-pourri, Vetivert, this earthy fragrance's never alien, To the world of perfumes, competition and fury, On Violet the odorata was said, A symbol of fertility in Greece, The perfume that Marie Antoinette preferred, And in Yarrow a help for diabetes.
