Details

While almost all of our products have essential oil in them, this is pure, undiluted nothing but. To get one ounce of pure essential oil, you start with pounds and pounds and pounds of flowers or herbs or fruit or leaves or bark and then go through an arduous, time-consuming practice of steam distillation to extract the precious oils. When we started the company years ago, and made products with only lavender, peppermint and rosemary, we did our own distillation and extraction but now we source our oils from every continent on the globe. As with anything, there are huge variations in quality; while it’s possible to purchase, say, lemon oil from countries other than Italy, we won’t buy it from anywhere else because the character isn’t right. (Also, I’m Italian and my great-grandfather grew Meyer lemon trees here in the Bay Area and I loved them and him.) We have to be super-gay and picky about every ounce of oil we buy because the success of our entire company is based on our decisions. Finally, you might notice, from time to time, that the products you order differ slightly in color. That’s because we don’t use artificial colors to “color-correct” the essential oils’ natural color variations.

SIGNATURE is our most popular home scent. French lavender makes it calming and restorative, but the Washington peppermint and Tunisian rosemary give it clean, fresh, bracing notes to which both men and women are drawn.

CITRUS is our rarest, most subtle home scent, composed of California pink grapefruit, and lemon and bergamot from Italy. Most citrus scents are too bright and sweet; by adding bergamot, the scarce citrus fruit that flavors Earl Grey tea, we’ve achieved a fragrant, harmonious balance that citrus aficionados adore.

SWEETGRASS is our most complex home scent, in which we balance the springlike freshness of Italian lemon and Indian lemongrass with the woodsiness of Moroccan cedar and finish with a note of rose geranium from China. It’s an aromatic scent that recalls the perfect warm summer evening—lush, romantic, enveloping.

TEA ROSE is our floral home scent with a twist, in that it’s far lighter and more balanced than other florals. The addition of costly Brazilian rosewood adds pleasing depth, while real green tea from Japan conjures crisp, clean notes of spring. The overall effect is fresh-mown heaven.

SPA is our newest home scent but is also our second best-selling, after Signature. Composed of Australian eucalyptus, lemon and mint, it literally replicates the scent of an upscale European spa in your own home. It’s clean, fresh and lively and will perk up even the most dismal day—or surroundings.

People who like it 1) have used essential oils before but are “impressed with the complexity and fragrance of these unique blends” 2) enjoy the versatility of the product 3) are surprised by how concentrated they are and correspondingly, by how long they last

People who didn’t like it 1) were somewhat intimidated or weren’t sure how to use them
