Floral Oils

The smallest family in the range, and the most precious. Floral oils need enormous quantities of plant material: a litre of rose oil takes several tonnes of hand-picked blossom, and the harvest lasts only a few weeks a year. That explains the price range across these four oils.

On dosing: floral oils are intense and assert themselves in any blend. Where you'd use five drops of lavender, two of Roman chamomile is enough, and one of rose. The small sizes here aren't the budget option – they're the sensible one.
