Also known as Orange
Blossom or Neroli
Bigarade this essential
oil is distilled from the
flowers of the cultivated
Bitter Orange tree. The
Orange flowers must be
distilled immediately
after picking as they
decay very quickly.
Tunisia is the most
highly regarded producer
of this exotic floral
oil. This delightful oil
has been carefully
distilled in Tunisia with
brand new top quality
equipment by skilled and
experienced distillers.
The difference is
apparent in the
quality. The Neroli in
this product is 100% pure
and natural. For your
convenience it has been
diluted to 5% in Coconut
Oil a wonderfully light
moisturising oil. It can
be used directly on the
skin as a perfume or
combined with other oils
as a massage or bath
blend. Try wearing one
drop behind each ear
before an important
interview. A few drops
added to your favourite

benefit any skincare
routine.

Coriander essential oil
is distilled from the
ripe seeds (fruit) of the
coriander herb. It is
cultivated all over
Europe particularly in
Russia. The oil is
colourless-to-yellow and
has a pleasant smell.
Another essential oil can
be produced from
coriander by the
steam-distillation of the
fresh and dried leaves.
This oil has one main
constituent - Decyl
Aldehyde - quite
different from the seed
oil which has a high
percentage of Linalol.
The seed oil is far safer
for aromatherapy
use. When convalescing or
generally lacking
appetite try a daily
abdomen massage with 1
drop of Coriander and 2
drops of Bergamot blended
in two teaspoons of Peach
Kernel oil. Always
massage the abdomen in a
clockwise direction. Try
2 drops of Coriander and
2 drops of Ginger diluted
in one teaspoon of
Coconut oil and added to
a warm bath to lift your
spirits and ease general
aches and pains. It is
important to remember
that whilst essential
oils are being used it is
wise not to drink
alcohol. This is
particularly applicable
when using Coriander. Use
in moderation at all
times.

There are several types
of oil produced from the
Juniper plant. One is the
superior quality
Juniperberry oil made
from the berries and the
other main one often
referred to as Juniper

Thyme Oil is water and
steam-distilled from the
partially dried wild herb
Thymus Vulgaris.
Distillation is mainly
undertaken in Spain but
also occurs elsewhere in
the Mediterranean region.
There are many different
species of Thyme and
within Thymus Vulgaris
there are a variety of
chemotypes that change
the constituent make-up
of the oil significantly.
The most common
chemotypes are Thymol and
Carvacrol which contain
high levels of toxic
Phenols (up to 60% Thymol
and Carvacrol). Absolute
Aromas offers Sweet Thyme
which is sweeter less
toxic and less irritant
than the Thymol and
Carvacrol types with a
maximum 3% concentration
of these components. Try
adding 1 drop each of
Thyme Lemon and Rosemary
to the water in an oil
burner to help create a
germ-free zone during
times of family
ills. Blend 2 drops of
Thyme 3 drops of Geranium
and 1 drop of Palmarosa
in a teaspoon of Peach
Kernel oil. Use a body
massage oil to help you
get back on your feet
after illness or if you
are feeling run-down. Do

England is the top source
for this wonderful
all-round soothing oil
and Absolute Aromas has
selected an oil of
consistently high quality
grown and distilled in
the UK. The small flower
heads used are
labour-intensive to grow

little essential oil
which explains the high
price. Along with
Lavender Roman Chamomile
can be described as a

safe for use on all the
family except during

Myrtle oil is produced by
steam distillation of the
leaves twigs and
sometimes flowers of this
fragrant shrub which
grows wild across
Southern Europe and
Northern Africa. Myrtle
has a gentle
camphoraceous aroma which
is also sweet and fresh.
It blends well with
Lavender Rosemary Clary
Sage spice oils Bergamot
and other citrus oils.
For a cleansing uplifting
aroma try 3 drops of
Myrtle with 2 drops of
Bergamot and 1 drop of
Lime in a burner or
diffuser. Other members
of Myrtle’s family
include Tea Tree and
Eucalyptus and as can be
expected from this it is
highly anti-septic and
clearing. Myrtle is not
as harsh as its relatives
and is ideal for use on
children. To keep winter
chills at bay try
diffusing 2 drops of
Myrtle in a child’s
bedroom half an hour
before bedtime. As its
aroma is less stimulating
than other anti-septic
oils try adding 4 drops
of Myrtle and 2 drops of

warm bathwater at bedtime
(halve the number of
drops for children from 3

Ylang Ylang means flower
of flowers and is
extracted by steam
distillation from the
flowers of a tropical
tree that grows in the
Indian Ocean. When Ylang
Ylang is distilled the
first fraction is

Ylang Ylang Extra. The
next fraction is known as
Ylang Ylang I then II and
finally III. Ylang Ylang
Extra is very highly
regarded and finds its
way into top quality
perfumes. Though the
chemical profiles are
very similar between the
oils the Extra is richer
in many of the top
notes. Absolute Aromas

Ylang. For a sensual

In common with other
Eucalyptus species
Eucalyptus Citriodora
(Lemon-scented
Eucalyptus) is originally
from Australia but is now
cultivated mainly in
China and Brazil. It is
often used as a minor
ingredient in soap and
detergent perfumes to add
freshness and is commonly
the active ingredient in
natural insect
repellents. Eucalyptus
Radiata and Globulus have
a higher pinene content
and are therefore more
useful in steam
inhalations. Use 8-10
drops of Eucalyptus
Citriodora in a diffuser
or burner to ward off
insects (try placing the
battery-operated
Aroma-Mouse under the
table at outdoors
parties). Alternatively
dilute 5 drops of
Eucalyptus Citriodora in
10ml Absolute Aromas
Coconut oil (do not use
the unfractionated or
solid version) – apply
a light coating to
exposed areas of skin.
Avoid the eyes and
mouth. To refresh and
cleanse tired feet add 3
drops of Eucalyptus
Citriodora 1 drop of
Cypress and 2 drops of
Tea Tree to a bowl of
warm water or

Acknowledged as the best
quality Peppermint
available English
Peppermint is at the
luxury end of the market.
The normal American
mentha piperita tends to
go into products such as
toothpaste and
confectionery. English
peppermint (also known as
Mitcham Peppermint) is
used for after-dinner
mints and mint liqueurs.
It is a much smoother
fuller and more rounded
oil than the standard
product. It has an
unusually high content of
methylesters (giving
excellent body and
sweetness) and a modest
content of the bitter
tasting ketone Menthone.
Peppermint as used in
after-dinner mints is
popular after a bout of
over-indulgence. Blend 1
drop of Peppermint with
5ml of Sweet Almond oil
for a comforting tummy
rub (massage in a
clockwise direction!).
Try adding 4 drops to a
bowl of warm water for a
wonderfully refreshing
footbath. Also a good
insect repellent – use
in a burner or diffuser
or add 10 drops to a
plant spray filled with
water shake well and
spray the room pets’
bedding etc. (Avoid
polished wood – may
cause bleaching of
fabric.) Do not use
Peppermint during the
first 4 months of

North America has become
the world’s largest
producer of this oil
which is steam distilled
from the leaves of the
familiar fast-growing
herb. Most of the
production goes into
confectionery and
toiletries – its sweet
cooling aroma is familiar
to all of us. The
American crops are
descendants of the
highest quality
peppermint – Mitcham
oil – which is only
produced in small
quantities in the UK
(Absolute Aromas also
stocks an English
Peppermint). Because of
the size of its crop the
USA has avoided the
frequent adulteration of
Peppermint oil which
occurs elsewhere in the
world. US Peppermint can
be used in exactly the
same way as English
Peppermint. Its aroma is
lighter less pungent and
more familiar many people
prefer it. To refresh
tired feet try blending 4
drops of Peppermint with
10ml of Sweet Almond and
massaging this well into
the feet. For maximum
benefit the feet can then
be soaked in warm or cool
water for 10 minutes and
patted dry. Peppermint is
a useful addition to
massage blends to aid
digestion. Try 2 drops of
Peppermint in a teaspoon
of Grapeseed oil –
massage into the abdomen
using clockwise
strokes. Peppermint
should not be used during

Pelargonium graveolens is

geranium which is a
completely different
species. The best
geranium is Bourbon
Geranium which comes from
the island of La Réunion
(previously known as Île

east of Madagascar in the
Indian Ocean. The island
has the ideal climate and
soil conditions for
production of geranium.
It is a greenish coloured
oil with a very strong
well-balanced odour. The
difference between this

Chinese is so significant
that Absolute Aromas also

Vetiver essential oil is
produced from the
rootlets of a grass which
grows wild in many parts
of India Sri Lanka and
other parts of Asia. The
rootlets are dried cut
and chopped then soaked
in water prior to
distillation. The grass
is cultivated for
distillation in many
parts of the world the
most important producers
being Haiti and Java. The
Indian production to date
is not of a very good
quality and goes mostly
into the local soap and
perfume industry. Vetiver
is a heavy viscous oil
with a rich undertone of
precious wood notes.
Absolute Aromas has
selected this Haitian oil
for its excellent
quality. Most Javan
producers burn off the
grass before digging up
the roots and this often
gives a smoky note to the
oil whereas the Haitian
producers cut the grass
and use it for feeding
cattle or for grass mats
so the oil has a much
cleaner aroma. Vetiver
is extremely viscous. A
large nozzle in the
bottle helps to some
extent but it may require
gentle warming of the
bottle in the hands or
warm water (and a lot of
patience) to pour a few
drops out. Blend 1 drop
each of Vetiver Jasmine
and Sandalwood in 10ml of
Peach Kernel oil for a
most luxurious massage
oil. To a teaspoon of
Sweet Almond oil add 1
drop each of Vetiver
Patchouli and Lavender.
Swish this into a very
warm bath to help shrug
off aches and pains on
cold winter nights.

The best Clary Sage comes
from Russia which is by
far the most important
producer although France
often plays a significant
role in distribution.
Absolute Aromas has
selected a very high
quality oil. The pungent
herbaceous aroma of Clary
Sage has a strongly
uplifting yet soothing
effect on the mind. In
times of worry try
soaking in a warm bath
containing 2 drops of
Clary Sage 2 drops of
Geranium and 3 drops of
Lavender all diluted in a
teaspoon of Peach Kernel
oil. An excellent
relaxing massage oil can
be made by blending 1
drop of Clary Sage 1 drop
of Roman Chamomile and 2
drops of Sandalwood in
10ml of Sweet Almond
oil. It is important to
remember that whilst
essential oils are being
used it is wise not to
drink alcohol. This is
particularly applicable
when using Clary Sage. Do
not use Clary Sage during
pregnancy – it is
however an extremely
useful oil during
childbirth. Use in
moderation at all times.

There are three main
types of rosemary. The
best one for aromatherapy
use is the eucalyptol
(cineol) chemotype from

Italy. The camphor
chemotype comes from

chemotype comes from
Algeria and Corsica. The
latter is
contra-indicated due to
neuro-toxicity. Absolute

There are many types of
cedarwood and it is
important to be clear
which one is which.
Virginian Cedarwood comes
from the cypress family
and the oil has an odour
of freshly sawn wood. It
is usually distilled from
sawdust from the

was once a popular
mosquito repellent but
has since been largely

Absolute Aromas Virginian
Cedarwood is Virginian
Light (light refers to
the method of
distillation). One of
the more masculine of
essential oils Cedarwood
is popularly used in
toiletries for men.
Cedarwood’s anti-septic

properties make it a very

Rose has been highly
prized for
centuries.There are over
10000 types of cultivated
rosemany of which are
extensively used in
toiletries for both men
and women. It is
extremely difficult to
extract oil from the
petals of the rose. The
two main ways are first
solvent extraction of a
concrete which is then
produced into an absolute
and second distillation
to produce an essential
oil. Production of an
absolute gives a better
yield but distillation
gives a much finer
fragrance. Rose Otto
(Otto comes from the
Ottoman Empire) is the
distilled oil produced by
water or steam
distillation from very
fresh petals. The
fragility of the petals
necessitates great skill
in production. Absolute
Aromas has selected this
rose otto for its purity
and quality. The Rose
Otto in this product is
100% pure and natural.
For your convenience it
has been diluted to 5% in
Coconut Oil a wonderfully
light moisturising oil.
It can be used directly
on the skin as a perfume
or combined with other
oils as a massage or bath
blend. Try wearing one
drop behind each ear
before a special night
out. Do not use during
the first four months of
pregnancy.

Also known as West Indian
Bay this Bay is not to be
confused with Laurus
Nobilis or Sweet Bay
which is a different
species. The fruits of
Bay are an ingredient of
Allspice. The essential
oil is extracted from the
leaves of the plant but
is also both warming and
aromatic. West Indian Bay
is the main ingredient of
the old-fashioned Bay Rum
hair tonic which was said
to stimulate hair growth
and help with greasy or
problem hair. For a
home-made hair tonic try
adding two or three drops
of Bay to your usual
shampoo or conditioner.
Alternatively blend 3
drops with a teaspoon of
vodka (to dilute) add to
warm water and use as the
final rinse after
shampooing. Bay has a
high Eugenol content
which makes it irritating
to mucous membranes it
should not therefore be
used in the bath and
should be used in
moderation and not on
young children. For a
winter-warming aroma try
adding 2 drops of Bay 1
drop of Cinnamon and 3
drops of Sweet Orange to
a burner or diffuser.

The reference to German
reflects the fact that
this essential oil used
to be distilled mostly in
Germany. When fresh this
oil is deep blue fairly
viscous and has an
intense sweetness that
some people find
unpleasant. It is
extensively used in
pharmaceutical products
for its healing
properties. As with Roman
Chamomile the high price
reflects the low yield
and labour-intensive
processes involved in
producing this
oil. German Chamomile is
particularly effective
when used with a compress
either hot or cold. If
you are suffering from a
buzzing head after a
stressful day try adding
2 drops of German
Chamomile and 1 drop of
Lavender to a bowl of ice
cold water. Dip a folded
face flannel into the
water wring it out and
place it across your
forehead lie back and
relax. Alternatively try
using in a hot compress
to ease general aches and
pains. German Chamomile
is also an excellent
addition to skincare
products for dry or
sensitive skin. Try 1
drop of German Chamomile
and 3 drops of Mandarin
in 10ml of Avocado oil as
an alternative
moisturiser. Do not use
German Chamomile at all

Elemi oil is steam
distilled from the sap of
a tree in the same family
as those that produce
Frankincense and Myrrh.
Elemi’s aroma is woody
and smoky like
Frankincense but the oil
contains a higher
concentration of terpenes
which give it a lighter
more lemony note. Elemi
was also used in the
embalming process by
ancient Egyptians and in
modern aromatherapy it
can be an alternative for
Frankincense for its
rejuvenating effects on
the skin. Try 2 drops of
Elemi and 1 drop of Rose
blended with 10ml of
Evening Primrose or
Borage oil. The name
Elemi is said to be
derived from Arabic and
means ‘as above so
below’. Like

believed to connect the
spiritual emotional and
physical and is an

Rose has been highly
prized for centuries.
There are over 10000
types of cultivated rose
many of which are
extensively used in
toiletries for both men
and women. It is
extremely difficult to
extract oil from the
petals of the rose. The
two main ways are first
solvent extraction of a
concrete which is then
produced into an absolute
and second distillation
to produce an essential
oil. Production of an
absolute gives a better
yield but distillation
gives a much finer
fragrance. it can
solidify easily and the
bottle may be warmed in
the hands before
use. Rosa Centifolia and
its close relatives are
cultivated widely in
Morocco to produce a rose
concrete from which an
absolute is extracted.
The product is also known
as rose de mai absolute.
The yield of absolute
from Rosa Centifolia is
somewhat higher than for
the Turkish and Bulgarian
Rosa Damascena whereas
the yield of the
distilled oil is somewhat
lower. Thus it is common
to find the absolutes
coming from Morocco and
the distilled oils coming
from Turkey and
Bulgaria. This wonderful
oil taken from the Queen
of Flowers has long been
popular with
manufacturers of skincare
products. Try blending 4
drops of Rose 3 drops of
Lavender 1 drop of Roman
Chamomile and 2 drops of
Geranium in 30ml of Peach
Kernel oil for a nightime
facial oil. Do not use
Rose during the first
four months of pregnancy.

Petitgrain oil is steam
distilled from the twigs
and leaves of the Bitter
Orange tree Citrus
Aurantium subspecies
Amara. This is the same
tree from which Neroli
(Orange Blossom) and
Bitter Orange essential
oils are produced. The
Paraguayan oil is
distilled exclusively
from the bitter-sour
subvariety of Bitter
Orange trees which grow
both semi-wild and
cultivated throughout the
interior of Paraguay.
Production of the oil is
dominated by Paraguay
with high quality and
cost effective
production. Before an
important evening out try
soaking in a tepid/warm
bath containing 3 drops
of Petitgrain 1 drop of
Rosemary and 2 drops of
Bergamot all blended in a
teaspoonful of Coconut
oil. Blend the following
oils in 10ml of Peach
Kernel oil for a
delicious-smelling
massage oil to help you
sleep 1 drop of

Distilled from the leaves
and twigs of a tree in
the same family as Tea
Tree and Niaouli Cajeput
is also strongly
anti-septic and has a
camphoraceous
aroma. Unlike its more
common relatives it has a
high Cineol content which
makes it skin-sensitising
for some individuals. It
should not therefore be
used in the bath. Cajeput
is a useful addition to
steam inhalations to
relieve symptoms of colds
and other winter chills.
Add six drops to a bowl
of just-boiled water
cover the head with a
towel and breathe
normally for up to ten
minutes. Cajeput is a
common ingredient in
pharmaceuticals and
dentistry as an
antiseptic. For problem
skin try 1 drop of
Cajeput blended with 5ml
(1 teaspoon) of Jojoba
and apply twice daily
(provided no skin
irritation is
experienced).
