    OH WELL, so much for soothing lavender and jasmine scents wafting... 

    Roseanne -  I had to respond to this, being a survivor of
    adult-onset asthma, who nearly died of it,("cured" now, thanks to
    last-ditch treatment with acupuncture and Chinese herbal meds after
    years of escalating drug treatment), I implore you to reconsider the
    use of scents, "subliminal" or otherwise. You never know what will
    trigger an allergic reaction. I adore Lavender, but Jasmine , e.g.,
    will trigger intense headache, disorientation, and an uncomfortable
    sensation of itching. In fact, while I'm totally good with "woody
    scents like sandalwood, vetyver, and even patchouli (which sends a
    friend of mine into fits), anything with florals makes me literally
    sick. Once, on a cross country flight, some bimbette sitting next to
    me pulled out some cheesy roll-on scent from Hawaii to prepare
    herself for meeting her boyfriend, as we went into our descent. The
    stink triggered the first asthma attack I'd had in several years.
    Ironically, I do wear scents, I love aromatherapy, etc. , but I
    prefer to make my own voluntary choices based on my personal
    knowledge. Unsolicited assaults can literally put one of your
    customers in the hospital.
