If we follow essential oil records back through time, we arrive as far back as the time of the Ancient Egyptians. A scroll discovered by archaeologists dating back to around 1500 BCE was deciphered and found to list hundreds of remedies employing the use of essential oils. Fast forward to the turn of the millennium, and we find the Bible describing essential oils in a number of instances, most notably when baby Jesus was given frankincense and myrrh. Then, there were the Ancient Greeks and Romans, who would diffuse essential oils inside their homes, public buildings and steam baths to maintain good health and keep things smelling beautiful.

Realtors have for years paid mindful attention to the scent of the homes they are listing as there is no bigger turnoff to a potential buyer than the smell of smoke, animals or must. Traditionally, gimmicks such as baking cookies or pie have been deployed but new research has shown these scents can be overwhelming and may even serve as a distraction to the home-buying process. New research states the best way to scent a space for a potential sale is by introducing a clean and subtle scent. The best scents for scenting for a sale are citrus, green tea, cedar and pine.

Event scenting is frequently being used to enhance all types of events from movie premiers, concerts, weddings, product launches and parties. This is due to the ever increasingly wealth of research pointing to the fact that scent plays an important role in how people react to and remember certain events or products. The close connection between memory, emotion and our sense of smell can help to make the event even more memorable and special.

We get so many questions about what exactly is an essential oil so we thought it would be great to explain. An essential oil is a volatile liquid that is extracted through the process of distillation from the seed, root, bark, stem, leaf, fruit, flower, resin or wood of a plant. In literal terms, essentials oils are the ultra-concentrated essence of that plant. Once extracted, these oils can then be used for inhalation, ingestion, absorption and for creating all kinds of products. These oils have a lot of health benefits. The are delicate so they should never be heated. Using them with a cold air diffuser will provide the best results!!

   

Did you know... the beautiful city of Hong Kong was named to pay homage to the scent of agarwood? The pungent, earthy scent of this wood gave Hong Kong its name, which, in Cantonese, translates as Fragrant Harbour. The scent is a poignant reminder of how this former colonial trading port, now a world financial hub, once played a pivotal role in the ancient incense trade to the Middle East and beyond.

A study was performed in a home-improvement store. The scent of freshly cut grass was diffused into the store. There was a 49% increase in perceived helpfulness and knowledge of the sales staff.
