Essence or Essential Part 2

Posted on May 8, 2012 by "The Smelly Lady"

Continuing yesterday’s post…..

We sell a few Essential oils.  The better ones are the steam distilled.

We also sell alcohol extracted essential oils.  They are good quality but evaporate over time.  I would classify them in the Essence category.

We sell several brands of Fragrance Oil.  Our own brand and several other brands as well.

Our Smelly Good Stuffs Fragrance Oils may be purchased online,  All other fragrances and oils are currently available locally.

To be continued…….tomorrow I will list the essential oils and brands of fragrance oils we sell.

Essence or Essential?

Posted on May 7, 2012 by "The Smelly Lady"

I have had quite a few customers come in lately wanting to “scent” their homemade laundry soap.  Many recipes on the WWW call for scenting it with essential oil, scented oil, essence, etc.  There is a BIG difference!  In previous posts I talked about what Essential Oils were composed of, and how they differ from Fragrance Oils.  (*please note links within these posts may be missing)

Here are good definitions:

An Essential Oil  is a  natural oil typically obtained by distillation and having the characteristic fragrance of the plant or other source from which it is extracted

An Essence is an alcoholic solution of an essential oil, a perfume or scent.

A Fragrance Oil is a man made scent created by chemical analysis.

Please be careful when mixing and using oils.  A little can go a long way.

We had lots of rain

Posted on April 16, 2012 by "The Smelly Lady"

Our weekend was pretty uneventful here at Smelly Good Stuffs.  We had lots of rain, a little wind and a brief 2 minute power outage.  I know there are areas of the US who didn’t get by so easy, I keep close tabs on those storms all weekend.  Thinking of those who have such an easy weekend.

Sometimes they go out

Posted on April 13, 2012 by "The Smelly Lady"

Ugh it’s wringing wet today!  The humidity is currently 76%.  We are in the potential severe threat area of the mid-west through the weekend.  One thing I know will be an issue until the humidity goes down is sticks and cones possibly going out.

As this storm has been building, so has the humidity.  Incense sticks and cones like to collect moisture.  When they do, they sometimes go out.  I’ve had several sticks go out on me in the past few days.  I just relight them.  Sometimes they burn, sometimes they don’t.  Sometimes I save them for another day, sometimes I just toss them.

This can happen with all brands of sticks/cones.  I’ve had Gonesh, Wildberry, and Nag Champa brands go out on me, as well as our own hand dipped sticks.
