Q: What is perfume made of?
A: Commercial perfumes are made from essential oils(obtained from flowers and plants),
Synthetic fragrance chemicals, dilutents and fixatives, all blended into an alcohol base.
Q: How are Aroma Sanctum's perfumes different?
A: I hand blend my perfumes from the finest natural essential oils and fragrance compounds. I prefer to make oil perfumes, which are very
concentrated , and more long lasting on the skin than sprays. They are much softer, and react more with a person's chemistry, creating a more
individual unique scent. They have a very long shelf life if stored properly, away from heat and sunlight, and are much better tolerated by
sensitive or allergic people. I test all my ingredients on myself first.
I do make some alcohol based sprays like the light Body Mist and soon will be making eau de parfums of some of my fragrances..
Q: If I am allergic to regular perfumes, will I have a reaction to Aroma Sanctum's natural perfumes?
A: Individual reactions vary but many sensitive people find
they can wear oil perfumes safely (continue with the rest of original text) cost.
Q: How can I tell what fragrance is right for me?
A: My perfumes really need to be experienced on the skin since they react so individually with your skin chemistry so we recommend ordering samples to try. Read through the detailed descriptions of our 4 Fragrance Collections to get ideas. We can certainly advise you based on perfumes you have worn and liked in the past.
Q: What is aromatherapy?
A: Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils, which are extracted from plants and flowers, in the healing of the body and mind. The oils are used in therapeutic bath and massage treatments for various conditions. This ancient art has become very popular, and there are many excellent books on the subject. Aroma Sanctum sells many of the essential oils used in aromatherapy.
Common Sense Safety Precautions:
All our essential and fragrance oils are undiluted so use with care. A drop or two per day is all that is needed for perfume purposes. They are FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY- keep out of the reach of children and pets. Always blend oils with a carrier oil or one of our bath products before using in the bath. If oils get into eyes, swab eye generously with vegetable oil before rinsing with water and seeing you doctor.
