Effortless Essential Oil

SKU: ESS-003
  • No-muss, no-fuss essential oil in new style with longer reeds
  • Subtly scents in a tasteful manner
  • Best for a smaller space, like a bathroom

Upscale hotels needed something tasteful, effective and, most of all, utterly effortless to provide subtle, pleasing scent in their sumptuously-appointed bathrooms. Looking to the Far East, they found the ancient tradition of using porous reeds to absorb fragrance and diffuse it over a relatively long period of time. They're also available for the home at prices ranging from $70 to $300 a pop. That's highway robbery because 99% of them are scented with artificial fragrances made from chemicals, not actual essential oils.

Our custom fragrances are composed of natural essential oils and are offered at a very reasonable price. If you're unfamiliar with how these products work, all you do is pour the essential oil blend into the glass apothecary bottle and place the porous reeds in the bottle. End of story -- your work is done.

Includes everything you need: ten porous reed sticks, tasteful glass container and 2-ounce bottle of essential oil blend, enough to last for 2-3 months of continuous use. Includes instructions. Comes in four of our custom-blended home scents, selected for this application because they are stronger in character. Please note, however, that the scent emitted from this product is subtle rather than powerful; if you want something stronger, the oil warmer is a better bet. Choose Signature, Sweetgrass, Blossomwood or Spa.

Note that this is a new size with longer reeds.

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.

SWEETGRASS is rich and complex. Fresh Italian lemon and Indian lemongrass are tempered by the woodsiness of Moroccan cedar and finished with a note of Egyptian rose geranium. It's an aromatic scent that recalls the perfect warm summer evening -- lush, romantic, enveloping.

BLOSSOMWOOD is composed of floral and citrus top notes with a woodsy bottom note for balance and staying power. The "magic ingredient" in this blend is called Petitgrain, steam-distilled from the leaves and bark rather than the blossoms of the orange tree. The overall blend, unlike anything else available, is redolent of plum blossoms, Neroli and jacaranda wood.

SPA is composed of Australian eucalyptus, California lemon and Washington mint, redolent of our favorite (oh so decadent) Napa Valley spa. It is clean, fresh and slightly astringent, so it perks up even the most dismal day -- or surroundings.

HEARTH, available during October, November & December, is our seasonal scent composed of juniper berry, bitter orange, clove bud and cardamom essential oils. It's woodsy, spicy and warm, like the holidays are meant to be, never too sweet or heavy. Perfect for entertaining or making the holidays bright.
