What are the differences of Essential Oils and Fragrance Oils?
Essential oils are pure oils, these are pure extracts from the object for which it is named. Essential oils are generally expensive, there are many sellers who sell what is really frgrance oils, yet they call them Essential Pure oils. They are really just selling fragrance oils. Essential oil pricing as you may notice varies per fragrance as the cost of some oils is extremely high due to difficulty in cultivating large amounts of the oils, along with the rarity.
Essential oils though truthfully in many cases just do not smell that good. Reason being is the purity can make the scents extremely powerful and often not very appealing. The true use of Essential oils is for medicinal purposes and therapy. Essential oils just are not good for vaporizing in your room due to the cost and smell. For the use and application of essential oils, its recommended to read the many articles in our blog or look up a good book on Aromatherapy at your local bookstore. As you will learn, each oil has various properties and uses. Some Essential oil for example could cause skin rash if someone were to attempt to place directly on their skin. These oils are very strong.
Fragrance oils (aroma oils) are for the most part synthetic blends of oils designed for fragrance. Fragrance oils often are much more pleasing to the nose, for general use and are obviously much less expensive. Note however that a lot of fragrance oils do contain acutal pure essential oil. Reason being some pure oils are actually fairly common and inexpensive. Eucalyptus for example is actually a fragrance oil that contains pure essential eucalyptus mixed in. Fragrance oils are for general aroma usage, covering up odors, potpourri, and just outright smelling good. Fragrance oils are designed for burning/vaporizing as essential oils are just too costly for that purpose for most people.
We mainly carry fragrance oils, though we do carry a small selection of the more popular Essential oils. For example, Lavender essential oil can be purchased in our shop for around $7.50 for a 1/2 oz. bottle. In contrast, 1/2 oz. bottle of fragrance (aroma) oil is only $2. While we carry approximately 100 different aroma oils in our current inventory, our essential oil inventory only contains 15 of the most popular therapeutic oils. The aroma oils we currently carry are of the highest quality blends using only pure oil mixtures to create the many varied scents and aromas.
We also carry many “body perfume oils” with roll on applicator. These perfume oils are pure oil with no alcohol mixed. Since they are pure oil (no alcohol) the durability and lasting power is greatly increased due to lack of evaporation. These small 1/3 oz. bottles normally around $6.95 per, are compared to the same fragrances purchased in your department stores at prices from $40 to $75 or more for equal quantity. Your store bought perfumes are approximately 50-75% alcohol.
While our online store carries many aroma oil accessories, warmers, candles, burners in many styles and even a few aroma oils in bulk quantities, most of our inventory and individual bottles of oil are only carried in our off line shop. This is due mainly to the cost of shipping and handling for small quantities of oil.
