I used to use body oils b/c I cannot wear perfume (it makes me sick). The smell is way more concentrated and you can combine scents. I think maybe what they mean is if you're wearing a musk based scent, if you use a little musk oil it will bring out the smell of the perfume. They same with Vanilla etc.
That's just my opinion...

What body oils do you use? I'd love to expand my perfume collection with some nice scented body oils.
Also how long do they stay on you?
I think you might be right about matching the scents.

I don't use a certain brand. I used to use Garden Botanika alot when they had a store in my mall, but now they are just online. I like to smell things for myself before buying them so I haven't bought any online. But they have a huge selection and smell true to what they are.
Also, bath and body works carries oils which are pretty good. I usually just get mine in random shops that carry oils, If I like the scent, I buy it. Sorry this isn't much help
But to start off, check out B&BW and get one scent and try it out. Then you can experiment more based on whether you liked the effects or not.

Nantucket Natural Oils contains thousands of oils, and I can say first hand they are amazing. The company is also called The Fragrance Bar, there is one in Boston and one on Nantucket. I order all my oils from them. They can even custom blend any oil to smell just like your fav. fragrance, a lot of the scents they carry have been discontinued so it's also a great place to find that long lost scent you've been lemming for!. LOVE Nantucket Oils!

I've layered similar scents (like vanila essential with lancome connexxtion, or lemon with light blue). I think that if you use just the right fragrances together it can enhance the scent.
Just make sure the notes match... like, don't use a sandalwood essential oil with a citrus scent O_O
The Body Shop has oils you can mix to form your own scent. Lowes Foods and Wellspring also carry uber inexpensive essentail oils.

When you use lemon (or citris) essential oils, make sure you don't apply it to an exposed part of your skin. Apply it to your decollage or some other pulse point shaded from the sun.
Lemon essential oils enhanse the photosensitivity of your skin. great for skin cancer!
