Scents and cognition

In Google News today, there was a blurb about this article.  Researchers found a 226% improvement in cognitive power after subjects had smelled essential oils while they slept.  Seven different oils were used, one a night.


The version of the article that I saw did not itself list the oils but I found this in the comments:

Individuals assigned to the olfactory enrichment group were provided with an odorant diffuser (Diffuser World) and 7 essential oil odorants (rose, orange, eucalyptus, lemon, peppermint, rosemary, and lavender; from The Essential Oil Company, Portland, OR) in identical glass vials that each fit into the diffuser.

I looked at Amazon.com and they sell many sets of essential oils but I didn't find one that completely matches the types listed.
