Have to hand it to ani s/he is making an effort for your money. Another 
idea would be to buy or make potpourris for those relaxing smells that 
take you back to nicer times and happier places.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aromatherapy

Skeptical literature suggests that aromatherapy is based on the 
anecdotal evidence of its benefits rather than proof that aromatherapy 
can cure diseases. Scientists and medical professionals acknowledge that 
aromatherapy has limited scientific support, but critics argue that the 
claims of most aromatherapy practitioners go beyond the data, and/or 
that the studies are neither adequately controlled nor peer reviewed.

Customers should be aware that aromatherapy may be unregulated, 
depending on the country. The term "aromatherapy" has been applied to 
such a wide range of products that many are labeled "aromatherapy" 
products simply because they contain essential oils, although they may 
provide no therapeutic benefit.

Some proponents of aromatherapy believe that the claimed effect of each 
type of oil is not caused by the chemicals in the oil interacting with 
the senses, but because the oil contains a distillation of the "life 
force" of the plant from which it is derived that will "balance the 
energies" of the body and promote healing or well-being by purging 
negative vibrations from the body's energy field. Arguing that there is 
no scientific evidence that healing can be achieved, and that the 
claimed "energies" even exist, many skeptics reject this form of 
aromatherapy as pseudoscience or even quackery.
