Spells often involve the use of ritual oils, potions, and incense. Potions that you create yourself are the most potent because you weave your thoughts into the concoction. Scott Cunningham's book The Complete Book of Incense, Oils & Brews offers guidance on making magical potions. Here's a recipe for a love oil: Add these essential oils to 1/8 cup of an unscented oil base (e.g. almond oil): 7 drops palmarosa, 5 drops ylang-ylang, 1 drop ginger, 2 drops rosemary, and one drop cardamom. Oils are typically used for anointing magical implements, especial candles. Not all oils are suitable as perfumes or bath oils. Some can cause irritation, so be careful.
