Kit for formulating and generating different aromas

A kit for formulating and generating different mood-modifying aromas, said kit comprising:

• (a) a battery of vials, each containing a different essential fragrance oil, thereby making it possible for a user of the kit to compound a potion constituted by a charge of oil derived from at least one of said vials;
• (b) a vessel having a removable cover, said vessel being formed of a ceramic having dielectric properties whose inner and outer surface have a glaze coated thereon, the composition of which is electrically lossy, such that when the vessel is exposed to microwave energy in an oven, this energy is absorbed by the glaze and is heated thereby to elevate the temperature within the interior of the vessel, said glaze being formed by a mixture of vitreous particles and metallic or metalloid materials which is fired to create a lossy vitreous coating on said inner and outer surface that seals the ceramic to prevent it from absorbing oil;
• and
• (c) means to deposit a charge of oil in said vessel before it is exposed to microwave energy, after which the charged vessel is covered and placed in said oven and heated therein, whereby said charge is then volatilized to produce an aromatic vapor which when the vessel is withdrawn from the oven and its cover removed, is discharged into the atmosphere, wherein said battery of vials, said vessel and said means to deposit are included in a common package.
