What essential oils are necessary in your arsenal? If you could only pick ten, what would they be?
 
Lavender
Rosemary
Patchouli
Peppermint
Eucalyptus
Star Anise
Geranium rose
Litsea cubeba
10x orange or other citrus
Cedar

Edit to add: these also have the advantage of being some of the least expensive EO's :)

Essential oil

Can someone tell me where I can find Quince essential oil? I've searched everywhere with no success. It must be pretty costly to be this hard to locate!

I was browsing at one of your links, and it dawn on me that Lemongrass is a top note. I thought top notes have weak lasting scents, however my lemongrass last forever. Maybe not forever, but a long time...like months (many).
