I want to get my mom an aromatherapy oil but how do i know which one she would like?

She has one of those things that turns scented oil into scented “clouds of air.” I want to get her an oil for her birthday on June 9th, but I don’t know how to ask specifically without seeming suspicious. I already asked kind of off-hand about rose and she said it would be nice, but it is very expensive. I checked this and indeed it is!
How do I ask?

I would recommend citrus essential oils as citrus oils are sweet, refreshing and well received by most people. They have a generally uplifting character that brightens the mood and lifts the spirits. They are, as a group, a useful addition to the aromatherapy kit. They are also generally relatively inexpensive, so you may be able to buy 2 or 3 for your mom!

Individually they have different characters –

Bergamot – a delicate sweet oil especially good for helping to relieve stress or any condition related to stress.

Grapefruit – a refreshing oil, stimulating to the digestion and good for encouraging the appetite. Also useful in preparations for oil skin

Lemon – refreshing and cooling, lemon is also good for helping concentration and lifting the spirits

Lime – refreshing and detoxifying, good for freshening the mind and also the skin.

Mandarin – calming and uplifting to the spirits. Very sweet and gentle and sometimes known as “the children’s oil”.

Sweet Orange – with a happy sweet nature, helping to relax the mind and emotions.
