Fragrance Oils

Ancient Wisdom Fragrance oils are ideal for oil burners or to refresh pot pourri.

Since it is impossible to have natural scents direct from the sources, such as herbs, spices, flowers, and trees, the next best thing is a fragrance oil that contains the extract and essence of a scent. Fragrance oils are made to smell like the original scent-producer, and are versatile and strong. The fragrance of the oil combined with an attractive oil burner provides a lovely ambience as well as a talking point for visitors to your home.

An ancient custom was to burn a little fragrant oil over a low flame to scent a room; this is still one of the most effective ways to perfume a living space. Fragrance oils are available in a variety of scents, and are perfect for use in making soaps, perfumes, incense sticks, creams and lotions, body sprays, candles and shower gels. They can be used on their own or mixed over oil burners or simmering pots.

Among the earliest items of trade in the world are fragrances; myrrh, cedarwood, frankincense, and other perfumed products were carried over long distances and treasured equally of more than precious metals and gemstones. Historians say that Egyptians were importing large amounts of myrrh more than 5000 years ago, when they were beginning to learn to write and read. For centuries, traders from the countries of Europe have travelled to the eastern part of the world to conduct commerce in fragrant goods. It is said that fragrances were the root cause behind much of our early history.
