Although the term Fragrance Oil is sometimes understood to be a substitute for the term Essential Oil, there are several differences between these two distinctly different types of oils even if they can both be applied similarly:
| ESSENTIAL OILS | OUR FRAGRANCE OILS |
|---|---|
| Natural, as is | Manufactured with natural aromatic components and manufactured with chemical fragrant components, all in accordance with IFRA (International Fragrance Association) standards and codes. |
| Derived from various plant parts, including roots, leaves, herbs, grass, flowers, and resins | Composed of either several natural oils or of aromatic compounds |
| Retains the authentic essence/aroma and beneficial properties of the plant | Numerous scents are combined to produce a new, unique scent |
| Examples of Essential Oils: Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, Eucalyptus | Examples of Fragrance Oils: All combined perfumes in oil form. |
| Traditionally used in aromatherapy for therapeutic properties | Not commonly used in aromatherapy, due to absence of therapeutic properties |
| Reputed to have various health benefits | We cannot claim any health benefits about our products. |
| Can be used in scented candles, household cleaners, room sprays, air fresheners, vaporizers, cosmetics, detergents, perfumes, soaps, etc. | Can be used as personal perfumes. |
| Pricing depends on the source botanical as well as the extraction method | Pricing depends on the quality, precision, authenticity and the quantity of the fragrance. |
| Quality, scent, appearance, and potency of oil depends on quality of growing conditions of the crop from which it is derived; inconsistencies are possible from batch to batch | Quality, scent, appearance, and potency of oil remain consistent |
