The flower-child '60s keep trying to come back, and it seems now as if the renaissance is nearly successful -- at least in fashion and interior design. Movies are giving us lots of hippie influence to emulate as well. To take on a true '60s ambiance, though, you've got to do more than wear love-beads, long hair and Indian tunics. Even an orange shag carpet won't do the trick.

You can't be '60s-hip without patchouli oil and strawberry incense. With these two ingredients spicing up your life, everywhere you go you'll waft along in a cloud of genuine make-love-not-war nostalgia.

We know that fragrance has the power to transport consciousness, to reawaken memories long dormant. Try these aromas and see what happens. Under their influence, you might even find you believe all those lost dreams of peace and harmony can come true. Like any good '60s botanical, these two do more than smell good; patchouli and strawberries have other special powers and properties. If you want to explore the '60s mood in earnest, give these a try in the bath and on the skin, as well as in the home.
