A-Z of Essential Oils

Essential oils occur naturally in the fruit, flowers and leaves of plants; some contain large quantities of oil and are easy to obtain, such as from the peel of an orange, while others are more difficult to extract and so more expensive, like rose oil. Today, many perfumes and oils originally obtained from flowers can be reproduced synthetically to a very high standard, protecting rare, natural crops, and are known as ‘nature identical’ oils.

To produce the Talking Scents range we use a combination of natural and nature identical essential oils, allowing us to create unique blends of distinctive fragrances. We have listed below the essential oils contained in our products with a brief description of their aromas and benefits.
