Creating a scented oil to reduce appetite

[Darbla]

I've heard of certain scents reducing your appetite to help in weight loss, so I thought I'd brew up my own, either with EOs or FOs.

This site: http://www.kalyx.com/store/proddetail.cfm/ItemID/737403.0/CategoryID/4500.0/SubCatID/500.0/file.htm

is using orange, lemon, sandalwood, ylang ylang, and bergamot in their product.

Banana, green apple, and peppermint are used here:

There's 2 different formulations described here:

Only peppermint is mentioned in a study here:

So, have any of you made your own version of something like this?

I don't but I have a customer who religiously requests that I make her a custom gray candle scented in banana she buys them for herself and her sister. Supposedly she has lost over 60 lbs. She said she read about it in Prevention magazine.

I don't know about anything scientific, but when I had hot chocolate scented soy melts at my desk, I didn't crave chocolate at all

That's so true with the chocolate! I had a hot fudge brownie candle and did not crave chocolate.

Well, some site I was reading when researching this said any good smelling stuff would decrease appetite. But if that were true all us chandlers would be rail thin.

When I worked at dairy queen, the floor cleaner we had to use smelled like peppermint, simply to work up peoples appetites....sneaky.....just thougth I'd throw that out there.
