I'll be doing this more often as it is hard for me to sit
: still.

You'll get used to it - I can't sit and wait for nail polish to dry,
yet I am hooked on henna and will sit around for hours/ hop around on
one foot waiting for it to set.....

: Also has anyone ever tried to use any fragances in olive oil as
: it is the only oil I can use on my skin but would love another smell.

I wanted to make my own eucalyptus oil, and packed a small bottle of
olive oil with fresh, rinsed eucalyptus leaves at the advice of an
"earth mother" friend. It smelled great, but did not have the right
feel or texture of the euc oils you can buy in the health food stores.
But I am thinking you could infuse the olive oil with other things as
well to cover up the smell - try lemon or orange zest, or other
fragrant things you are not allergic to, pack a small bottle of olive
oil with the other ingredients and let sit for a week or so, then
strain. Good luck!
