Rollerballs stuck
"The rollerballs are inserted in a way that they won't move. Is there anything to do?"

First, try to lift the plastic cap with the ball from the glass bottle — you can use something thin, metallic like a butterknife or similar as a lever. Once the cap is off, push the ball out of the cap, by pushing something thin through the small hole from inside the cap, where the oil flows through. Once the ball is out, find a pen or another object, that nearly fits into the opening, wedge it in, give it a few twists — you don’t want to widen it too much — and then reinsert the ball. It should move more freely now.

Scented lotion
Oil will be absorbed by dry skin quite fast. So as a general rule it is advised to use some (unscented) lotion before applying perfume to extend the life of your scents. But you can also mix a scented version yourself -- and you don't need to prepare anything beforehand.

Put some oil in the palm of your hand and add a few pumps of unscented lotion of your choice, mix it gently in both hands and apply.

Depending on the sillage/concentration of your oil, choose more or less oil. Commercial products use a ratio of 0.25 to 1 percent of perfume oil. But as you only mix small, single doses you can adjust your mixture to your preferences or daily mood.
