With a trial size.

Every oil in our range — attars, essential oils, fragrance oils, carriers — is available in a small bottle at a small price, no minimum order.

Pick two or three that interest you, test them in your candles, soap, diffuser, or on a blotter strip, and scale up only the winners.

You can't smell a website; this is how we solve that.

Smaller than you think.

A trial bottle covers several proper tests — a blotter session, a small candle pour, a soap test batch.

Move up a size once an oil has earned it on your own bench, not before.

The per-unit price drops as sizes grow, so patience literally pays.

Yes, and we'll be blunt about it.

Tell us on WhatsApp what you're making — container candles in soy, cold process soap, a roll-on blend — and we'll suggest what fits and, just as importantly, what to avoid.

If an oil is wrong for your project, we'd rather lose that sale than your trust.

An attar is a botanical perfume oil in the Indian tradition: flowers, roots, or woods distilled into a base oil, with no alcohol.

You wear a small dab on pulse points instead of spraying; it sits close to the skin and unfolds over hours instead of shouting for one.

Our range includes rose, vetiver (ruh khus), oud, and mitti — the distilled scent of rain on dry earth.

Grades come from how a botanical is distilled — ylang ylang is the classic case.

“Extra” is the first fraction collected, the brightest and most prized for fine perfumery.

“Complete” captures the entire run, fuller and better value for soap, candles, and blending.

Wherever a product has grades, the listing spells out which suits what — and if you're still unsure, ask us with your use case.

Not the concentrated ones.

Essential oils are potent extracts and should be diluted in a carrier oil before skin contact, with a patch test first.

Attars are the exception — they're built to be worn as-is in small dabs.

And nothing we sell is for swallowing: our products are fragrance and raw materials, not foods or medicines, and we won't pretend otherwise.

Yes — as the maker, regulations in your market govern your finished product: usage limits, labeling, and safety rules vary by country and product type.

Usage guidance sits on our listings, and documentation for your compliance files is available on request.

If you need a specific document for a specific market, ask before ordering — sorting paperwork upfront beats discovering a gap after production.

They fade rather than spoil — oxygen, heat, and light slowly dull them.

The pattern: citrus oils tire fastest, most florals and herbs hold a good while, and dense oils like vetiver, patchouli, and sandalwood can actually deepen with years.

Keep bottles capped tight, cool, and dark, and finish what you open — a half-empty bottle ages quicker than a sealed one.

The batch details on your bottle let you track exactly what you're holding.

Hold us to the same test we'd tell you to run on any supplier:

• A botanical name and origin on the listing
• A batch number on the bottle
• Documents on request — COA and MSDS for what you bought

If any seller anywhere hesitates on those three, that hesitation is your answer.

We built the brand to pass this test, so please, actually run it on us.

Traceability.

It ties your exact bottle to its production run — so when you ask us a question, request a document, or raise a concern, we're both looking at the same oil, not a guess.

It's also how you track an oil's age on your own shelf.

Because fragrance and raw materials aren't medicines, and claims that they treat anxiety, grow hair, or cure ailments are marketing theater — often legally prohibited in the markets we ship to.

We'll tell you what an oil smells like, where it's from, and how makers use it.

What it does for your wellbeing is your experience to have, not our claim to sell.

No.

One price list for everyone — the price on the page is the price, and it steps down as sizes go up, visible on every listing.

No tiers to unlock, no club to join.

Bulk beyond the listed sizes gets a custom quote through the Wholesale page.

Enter your address at checkout for exact costs; the full picture is on Delivery & Shipping.

Because it never really is — “free shipping” is shipping cost hidden inside product prices.

We'd rather show you both numbers honestly: real product prices, and shipping calculated from your order's actual weight and destination at our discounted courier rates.

When we run free-shipping promotions, they apply automatically — as promotions, not as padding.

Possibly — import duties and taxes are levied by your country on arrival and are the buyer's responsibility.

What we control, we do properly: accurate declarations, correct values, correct HS codes, every time.

We'll never mark your parcel “gift” to dodge duties — that trick puts you, the importer, at legal risk, and we don't play it.

A tracking number and link land in your email the moment your parcel is picked up.

If tracking goes quiet for 5+ business days, don't wait politely — message us and we'll chase the courier from our end.

Open and check your parcel the day it arrives — all return and refund requests need to reach us within 48 hours of delivery.

Damaged, leaking, or wrong item: send photos with your order number via WhatsApp or email, and we'll replace free or refund in full, your choice, usually without you shipping anything back.

Unopened — yes, if you contact us within 48 hours of delivery.

You arrange and pay the return shipping, and original shipping isn't refundable.

Full terms: Returns & Refunds.

To your original payment method — never forced store credit — within 5–10 business days of approval, plus whatever your bank adds on top.
