Questions

What is aromatherapy?

What is the difference between an essential oil and a fragrance oil?

An essential oil is pure plant extract. Essential oils are obtained through steam distillation, water distillation and cold-pressed expression. Essential oils are used for Aromatherapy, natural therapies, and fine perfumery.

Our fragrance oils are concentrated blends of essential oils, extracts, fixatives, natural and nature identical products hand made according to traditional methods. They are used to fragrance pot pourri, sachets, candles, soaps, drawer liners, etc. Since fragrance oils often have some synthetic ingredients, they are not generally used for quality ‘mood enhancing’ or therapeutic effects of true Aromatherapy.
