Lavender Organic Essential Oil
Lavender is recognised for its floral, softly herbal aroma. It suits calm, gentle fragrance blends and is a familiar choice for customers exploring essential oils for the first time.
Peppermint Organic Essential Oil
Peppermint has a cool, crisp and unmistakably minty scent. It can add a fresh note to fragrance blends and is often paired with citrus or herbal oils.

Rose geranium offers a rounded floral aroma with a green, rosy character. It works well in floral blends and gives customers an alternative to more familiar citrus or lavender scents.
How to Choose Oils for Your Shop
A balanced selection can include familiar favourites alongside more distinctive aromas. Citrus oils such as orange and lemon offer bright, fresh scent profiles; rosemary and peppermint bring herbal and minty notes; lavender and rose geranium add floral choices.
