All natural oils can be called essential in the sense that their fragrance comes from the very material that they are made of. Whenever you smell a fragrance you actually smell the product or material itself. There are many different types of essential oils which exist naturally but there are many more fragrance oils.
Essential oils are totally natural in that they are the essence of plant parts. Fragrance oils are created in a wide variety of ways and using many different techniques. Many fragrances are synthetic or produced by chemicals. Fragrance oils may be a natural combination of materials, they may be partially natural, or they may be fully synthetic. In either case they can be enhanced to smell even better that the essential oils that they are created to replace.
Essential oils normally have natural therapeutic effects and can be used to heal or cure a number of maladies. Fragrance oils have no medicinal value but are utilized just because they delight the senses. Carrier oils are another class of natural oil but I personally just lump them in the same class as essential oils.
Fragrance oils last for a much longer period of time than essential oils before they will break down. Essential oils need to be carefully stored in order to maintain their freshness. Heat is the culprit that will affect these products the most and different types of these oils have different points where they begin to break down but the general rule is the same.
If you want to purchase the oil strictly for its aroma then fragrance oils are the best way to go. They can be enhanced to have more fragrance than the essential oil that they may be designed to mimic. I have many fruit fragrance oils here and in every case they are more potent than their natural counterparts. There is almost no limit to the number of fragrances which man can produce with synthetic oils but essential oils are limited in scope as far as this is concerned.
Essential oils normally cost more because they are harder to produce. This is not always the case but as a general rule it is true. Sometimes fragrance oils may cost more depending on the complexity of their makeup and the process by which they are made. Some essential oils are not very difficult to obtain so in these cases their cost may not be as much.
If you are looking for a product to help you maintain good health or to help overcome an ailment or illness then essentials are probably your best buy. Remember that you need to use them over a period of time in order to get the most benefit from their therapeutic properties. You need to use them in conjunction with a good diet and plenty of exercise in order to get the maximum benefit from their use.
When you use fragrance oils you need to apply them to the situation and circumstances that you happen to find yourself. In other words some fragrances are better suited for nighttime or maybe winter wear. You need to be aware of the characteristics of the ingredients in your fragrance oil and the effect that those ingredients may have on others. Certain fragrances are better suited to certain colors also so you must keep this in mind when you choose the fragrance that you want to wear.
