I enjoy making "perfumes" out of essential oils. I never want to overpower my natural scent but rather blend very lightly to the point I think no one else will notice but me. It's a treat for myself and maybe to whoever gets a hug. Sounds like you're enjoying yourself, but be careful of acclimating too much.

I'm not talking about wishy washy woowoo. I simply mean the connection from the external world to the inner. Even empirical data needs to connect and pass through your "soul/essence" to make any sense of it. You can use different words if you want to, but it's simply our own personal consciousness and behaviours that interact with existence.

Soul is a gestalt word that points to various conscious experiences and behaviours. Science still hasn't been able to find out what consciousness and qualia are. These are things that exist, yet can't be quantifiable. If you don't want to use the word "soul", that's okay, but to me it's a beautiful word that sometimes bites off more than it can chew.
