### A Note on Wormwood

**Wormwood** (*Artemisia absinthium*) fits perfectly into your preference for camphor and "healthy" (medicinal) scents. 

**The Scent:** It is very distinct—bitter, herbal, and strongly camphoraceous. It doesn’t smell "pretty" in a floral way; it smells "functional" and potent, which seems to be exactly what you enjoy.

**The "Healthy" Side:** Historically, it has been used to support digestion and as a natural pest repellent.

**⚠️ IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING:** 
Wormwood is a very powerful oil and contains **thujone**, which can be neurotoxic if used in high concentrations or over a long period. 
*   **Do not** use it internally.
*   **Do not** use it long-term (it is better for occasional use).
*   **Avoid** if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have epilepsy. 
*   Always dilute it heavily in a carrier oil if applying to the skin.
