Essential oils for massage in labour

Hi, does anyone know where I can get good massage oils for labour? Something ideally with clary sage and mandarin in - I was told these are good. Apparently clary sage doesn't smell too good and is often mixed with something like lavender...

I've had a look around and there are just so many!

my friend is currently doing an aromatherapy course and she got all her essential oils from boots. i think you have to buy a base oil like almond oil and then you add whatever you like to that. some aren't suitable for use during pregnancy but i doubt that matters for labour
