"The quickest way to change a mood state - quicker than with any other sensual modality - is with smell."

Essential oils are distilled typically by steam or water from the 

leaves, stems,  flowers, bark, roots, and other parts of a given 

plant botanical. For citrus fruits, the essential oil is usually 

pressed from the peels (rinds) of the fruit. Essential oils 

contain the true aromatic essence of the plants that they

are derived  from and offer many other therapeutic 

benefits that span beyond  their pleasant aromas.

Fragrance oils are generally synthetic; however, many include

 natural compounds. Fragrance oils are available in hundreds 

of different scents allowing us to create scents that cannot 

be achieved strictly by using essential oils or 

other natural aromatics.
