Lots of folks might like their homes to enjoy the fresh natural scent that essential oils provide, but don’t want any hassle. This product, first popularized in those hyper-upscale hotels that cost more per night than most of our monthly mortgages, really fits the bill. You pour the essential oil blend in the glass apothecary bottle and stick the porous reeds (12” length) in the bottle. End of story—your work is done. We offer this product (which includes everything you need—15 porous reed sticks, glass apothecary bottle and 2-ounce bottle of essential oil blend, enough to last for 5-6 months of continuous use, plus instructions) in all five of our custom-blended home scents: signature, citrus, sweetgrass, tea rose and spa. To read more about how this product works and about each scent, just click “more details” under the picture at left.

Replacement bottle of essential oil blend and new pack of 15 porous reed sticks. (You need to change the sticks each time you replace the oil or change oil varieties.)
Or, if you have a container you want to use and all you need is the bottle of essential oil blend and 15 porous reed sticks, then by all means, only buy these items! One thing to note: the reason the glass apothecary jar is perfect for this application is that the neck is so slender—that is, it’s basically only large enough for the reeds to fit through. So if you’re thinking of just buying the oil and reeds and putting it all in another container, the one caution we would offer is that during the six months of use, it seems probable that icky stuff like flies and dust might land in anything with a wide opening.

This is the most exquisite room spray available anywhere—online or in a retail store. We tend to shy away from idle boasts so here’s the back-story. You can count the companies who use essential plant oils to scent their room sprays on one hand. Literally. Then, among those few, we’re the only one—bar none—to specify the high concentration of alcohol in our formulation. What this costly choice does (the government taxes alcohol like there’s no tomorrow—whether it’s going in your margarita or our room spray) is transform our room spray into a large bottle of fresh all-natural cologne for your home. In other words, we use the same technique top perfumers do to preserve and then atomize the clean crisp burst of fragrance from our proprietary blends of flowers, herbs and plant essences. If you grew up on Glade, these ambrosial mélanges aren’t in the same solar system. Or universe.
Perfect for spot cleaning smoke and other unpleasant odors from kitchens and bathrooms--it's also thoughtful to place a bottle in the guest bathroom. When entertaining, if you spritz this around before guests arrive, they’ll feel they’ve entered a separate world where all is luxury, calm and voluptuousness. Choose signature, citrus, sweetgrass, tea rose or spa. For more info on the scents, just click "more details" under the picture at left.

Signature is composed of French lavender, with our custom blend of lavender, peppermint and rosemary essential oils. To see how it stacks up against the other Aeromatics in terms of fragrance staying power, click "more details" under the picture on the left. You'll also get a rundown on all the home scents.
We’ve sold loads of these scented dried botanicals in the store over the years, and a beribboned box of them is truly the most tasteful and appreciated hostess gift, so we felt bad about keeping them from a hungry public. You’ll note we don’t call them “potpourris” and there is a reason: most potpourri is hideous. It smells artificial and gangrenous and looks like Holly Hobby dropped acid and went on a spree at the $1 store. Our Aeromatics are something altogether different. The delightful scents are, of course, from natural essential oils, while the actual botanicals are uncommonly elegant and decorative because actual gay men designed them! Gift-boxed with signature Nancy Boy ribbon.

Spa is composed of bael nuts, putka pods, amra pods and moneta leaf. The indescribably refreshing scent was inspired by our favorite Calistoga spa: its crisp lemon-eucalyptus-mint scent is what we think heaven might smell like.

This is a great starter kit for anyone who wants a no-muss, no-fuss way to scent their home with essential oil. You get a full one-ounce bottle of your choice of scented oil plus a ceramic light bulb ring. The cool thing is it’s super easy. All you do is drop five or six drops of oil (the bottle comes with a dropper) into the groove of the ring, set the ring on top of the light bulb and turn on the light. The heat of the bulb actually diffuses the scent of the oil through the room. You can leave the ring on the bulb forever and forget about it if you want (although we hope you’ll use the oil again—there’s enough for oodles of uses) because the ring will never explode or anything, although you do need to use care in handling it when it’s hot and also avoid getting oil on the light bulb itself. Instructions are included. Choose signature, citrus, sweetgrass, tea rose or spa. For info on the scents, just click "more details" under the picture at left.

This is my favorite way to use essential oil, because the oil is diffused through steam, permeating the house in a rich, heady, natural fragrance. For some reason, though, the same people who have high-power jobs, raise children and know how to program a TiVO are intimidated by these, um, candle-powered urns, a fact that never ceases to make me chuckle. OK, here’s the drill: you put some water in the top part, you add about five drops of oil, you light the tea light candle (we include one to get you going) and in about 15 minutes are so mesmerized by the enchanting scent, you think you’re living in a new home. It’s really that simple. Because the oil is so concentrated, and you use so little each time, each bottle is good for many pleasant interludes. Includes full 1 ounce bottle of scented oil, ceramic oil warmer and directions, even though you’re way smart enough to figure it out without them. Choose signature, citrus, sweetgrass, tea rose or spa. For info on the scents, just click "more details" under the picture at left.

This formulation is a big departure from what’s available in the supermarket. The cheap industrial grade soaps in every supermarket brand of laundry detergent (both powders and liquids) are so crude and strong that they can never be fully rinsed out in the wash. In the dryer these soap residues form an invisible crust on every piece of fabric. The result? First, everything feels rough and uncomfortable. Second, the dried soap crystals rub together and cut the fabric (proof? lint in the lint trap). Third, this rubbing creates static cling. So when we developed our laundry soap, we formulated it with concentrated high-quality soap that powers out tough stains but also rinses out to almost imperceptible levels, thereby making it unnecessary to use a fabric softener or dryer sheet. This approach results in naturally soft, cuddly laundry, a dramatic reduction in static cling and a decrease in lint of at least 30% (check your lint trap!) thereby lengthening fabric life. Our soap is also highly eco-friendly: dye free, phosphate free, biodegradable, no animal byproducts or testing, gentle, low-sudsing and color safe. Formulated for use in both top and front-loading washers. Ultra-concentrated for 30 large wash loads (60 loads in a front-loading washer). Laundry Queens everywhere, rejoice. Lightly and naturally scented. Choose original lavender, lavender-geranium or lemon verbena. (If you want even more arcane laundry info, just click the "more details" button under the picture on the left.)

Fresh, sweet-smelling laundry is one of life’s most heavenly pleasures. Again, the Europeans are one step ahead of the game, probably because they still iron (how do they find the time to iron, enjoy those marvelous three-hour lunches and have zillions of love affairs?). But you don’t have to iron to enjoy sheets and linens and jammies that smell like they’ve been airing in a spring garden. Just spritz this on any fabric you’d like to be lightly and pleasantly scented—that’s it! Our fragrant linen waters are made from steam-distilled plant essences and won’t stain. Choose signature, lavender-geranium or lemon verbena. (If you do use it as an ironing aid, this product should be sprayed on fabrics before ironing, not poured into the iron itself.)
