These are the purest, finest oils I can
find, balancing price against quality.
They come in a 1 dram bottle unless otherwise noted. Quite a few
have remained at $4.00 each,
but increased costs have forced me to raise the price of
others.
Musks I and O which used to be listed here are now on the
Fragrance Oil Page.
Effects code. This a code letter
providing information you might find useful.
An @ symbol indicates that the oil may be used for Aromatherapy. R =
Rejuvenating,
S = Sedative, G = Grounding, C = Cleansing, B = Balancing, M =
Meditation, E = Energizing.
P is a pregnancy warning. The use of any essential oil on the body
during pregnancy is
not recommended, with the possible exception of Mandarin Orange. The
warning is here
for oils known to be threatening to the health of the mother and
developing child.
P. Davis in "Aromatherapy, A to Z" has a wonderful pregnancy belly
massage/body oil recipe.
The Musks have been moved to the Fragrance Oil category.

The Superior Quality Oils below
are MORE than $4.00 per dram
Certain oils have a number followed by
% in the effects column. This is the percentage
dilution in Jojoba. The straight version of these oils would cost
many times more per dram.
The Rose otto, for instance, would sell undiluted for somewhere in
the neighborhood of
$40 per dram - a neighborhood not everyone can afford to visit. But
do not let the
dilution lead you to believe that these are weak or faint oils; they
are splendid, potent,
and lasting.
Oils with a D after their name are best used on the body when
diluted in a carrier oil.

Note: Sandalwood continues to rise in
price, my wholesale prices climbing ever upward.
Controls on the harvest and export of sandalwood has forced its
price to go up
dramatically over the last few years, and it will continue to become
more expensive in
the future. But because of such controls it will be available in the
future. All oils come
from renewable resources, but they renew at different rates, are
harvested in different
manners, and take differing amounts of material to produce a given
measure of oil,
which in turn is reflected by their price. Then there are the
effects seasonal and political
climates can have on agricultural pursuits. So here we have another
reason to support world
peace: our world will smell better for it. There are cheaper
sandalwood oils out there.
Some are of a lesser grade, some are diluted. This is a very
good grade, undiluted.
Samples of
any of these or my other oils can be had for $1 each, five samples
