Choose your oil from the list, and receive a 10 ml bottle. In an ultrasonic diffuser, a few drops are enough to scent a room. One bottle will last you several weeks. We have sorted them by family to help you choose.

Citrus oils, for a home that smells fresh.

Bergamot, lemon, mandarin, grapefruit and citronella. Bright and sparkling, they are ideal in the morning, in the kitchen or the hallway. Bergamot is the one that scents Earl Grey tea. Citronella is also popular in summer, out on the terrace.

Floral oils, for a soft mood.

Rose, jasmine, geranium, lavender, ylang ylang and chamomile. Lavender remains the favourite for a bedroom or bathroom. Ylang ylang and jasmine bring a more sensual, exotic note to the living room.

Woods and resins, for a warm interior.

Sandalwood, cedar, cypress, juniper, vetiver and frankincense. Deep and enveloping, they are perfect for winter evenings or a moment of meditation. Frankincense, the resin of the Boswellia tree, has been burned in temples since Antiquity.

Spice oils, for a comforting note.

Cinnamon, clove, ginger, black pepper, fennel and vanilla. They bring to mind Christmas baking and mulled wine. Mix one drop of cinnamon with two drops of mandarin, and your living room smells like a Christmas market.

Aromatic herb oils, to breathe crisp air.

Basil, rosemary, thyme, clary sage, eucalyptus, tea tree, cajeput and camphor. Green and fresh, they bring to mind the garden or the forest after rain. Eucalyptus and tea tree are very popular in winter.

Where the word aromatherapy comes from.

The word was coined by the chemist René-Maurice Gattefossé from Lyon, who published a book titled “Aromathérapie” in 1937. His family made raw materials for the perfume industry. Nearly a century later, the diffuser has replaced the still, and anyone can scent their home with a few drops. To find out more, read our article Aromatherapy, the essential guide.

Frequently asked questions about essential oils.

Good to know.

Essential oils are highly concentrated. Do not swallow them and never apply them neat to the skin. Dilute them in a vegetable oil, and do a patch test in the crook of your elbow before use. Keep bottles out of children’s reach. Ask a doctor or pharmacist for advice if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, for children under 6, and for people with asthma or epilepsy. Camphor, eucalyptus and rosemary should be avoided near young children. Cinnamon, clove and thyme can irritate the skin. Citrus oils (bergamot, lemon, mandarin, grapefruit) make skin more sensitive to the sun. Do not diffuse continuously around animals, especially cats and birds, and always leave them a door open.
