Announcement
I am so pleased to be joining scented forces again this year with Justine Crane of The Natural Perfume Academy so we can offer some fantastic in person natural perfume and distillation classes. Students will learn technique and create either their own distilled product or natural perfume composition with access to our very own apothecary here in Sacramento, California. Register now at www.essentialoilapothecary.com as space is limited!
Hippity hoppity, Easter's on it's way and our sale continues until the end of March! It's spring and I'm in the deep throes of spring distillation: lilac, saucer magnolia, stinging nettles and the continuation of second year tinctures and macerations to appear later in the shop. I'm foraging a ton for my raw green smoothies too. This is my absolute favorite time of the year. Hope it's yours too!
A heartfelt thanks to all of the kind customers who understand that this is a one woman show here at the shop. What I don't source from my producers, I produce myself and that takes a lot of time via foraging/harvesting, processing and distilling. Good things simply take time and I'm grateful to those who understand that.
This shop is:
small business
local
artisan work
small carbon footprint
sustainable
New This Holiday Season: I've done an obsessive amount of work in the last six months distilling the weird, extracting the never before and sourcing the oddest aromatics I can find in California. This obsession is fueled by my bigger obsession which is to serve our skilled perfumers and all around creative DIY artisans by offering only the very best essential oils, absolutes, concretes, floral waxes and hydrosols. Our apothecary has become highly recognized for providing top shelf aromatics. What I don't produce myself, I import from small artisan producers that have harvest and production ethics that align with my own, avoiding the use of oil brokers at all costs. Read the reviews, give us a try, dive into the sublime. I can't wait for you to experience what I have to offer.
We are now offering classes! I've joined creative forces with the insanely talented perfumer, incense and soap maker Justine Crane of 'The Scented Djinn' to share decades of experience with in-person classes in the United States, Canada or anywhere we can be hosted.
We offer:
Distillation
Natural perfumery
Incense

Please contact us if you are looking for a specific aromatic you've purchased from us in the past and are now unable to find it or are looking for our new arrivals which are arriving monthly. We are dealing with a platform hungry to remove artisans so we are doing all we can to work within those parameters until we can fly solo ;). Please contact us if you would like further information about them.
A note on returns. If there's a genuine issue, please contact us but be aware that it first must be approved and the customer agrees to pay a 30% restocking fee and return shipping in order to receive the refund. No exceptions. This is our new shop policy since there is zero protection for my work here which I value and cherish highly. Returns are not accepted for things such as a personal preference or inexperience. Taunts, gas lighting or threats are not tolerated and will be reported immediately and buyer is placed on the do not sell list. It also nullifies the potential of a return. We have an excellent track record regarding handing any issues but when threats take place, it's an indicator that there is a more sinister agenda.
Thank you for watching weekly distillations of my wild foraging in Northern California plus some off the grid distillations of aromatics in my apothecary. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or experiences you’d like to share.
Subscribe to the channel and receive a free sample of the distillation when an order is placed on our Etsy shop or website (let us know you subscribed) where aromatic stories and shipping are always free.

5 out of 5 starsThe best vanilla wax I’ve ever smelled! I’m obsessed
Aromacher responded on Nov 10, 2023
I'm delighted you like it. I never understood why it doesn't sell faster. I find it to be such a beautiful vanilla wax - best I've ever sourced like because it's a small production and not for oil brokers. Makes all the difference. Your new order of vanilla wax is on its way :)

5 out of 5 starsI've ordered from this vendor in the past many times. She's one of the best vendors on Etsy. I've been looking to try Vetiver fragrance for a long time. I've enjoyed this on for a while now. As always, she works at making you happy. A little extra here and there, a new scent for you to try, etc. Always ready to answer any questions you may have. Please keep up your great work.

5 out of 5 starsI've ordered from this vendor in the past many times. She's one of the best vendors on Etsy. I've been looking for Frangipani fragrance for a long time. It's one of the flowers in Hawaii that has a heavenly scent. I've enjoyed this on for a while now. Every now and then, I "release" it. It takes me right back to the sunny shores of the Big Island surrounded by frangipani bushes. As always, she works at making you happy. A little extra here and there, a new scent for you to try, etc. Always ready to answer any questions you may have. Please keep up your great work.

5 out of 5 starsI am using this sensuous gem as a part of my daily skincare regime. It feels clean and hydrating. Hard to keep my hands off. I find myself spritzing every few hours, it so lovely. Artisan distilled, not bulk from a wholesaler and marked up. This is the best of ETSY offerings. I might even purchase a decorative vintage crystal bottle atomizer with a squeeze bladder for it. This hydrosol is worthy.

5 out of 5 starsTuberose wax! Heavenly! Reviews are correct. Cher is awesome! I purchased it to add to my homemade skincare products. I was not expecting it to smell so divine, floral, buttery, lush and green at the same time..it really was better than I expected and I love that she included such a generous sample of the equally amazing jasmine sambac wax. I'll be ordering more:) Thank you so much, Oz

5 out of 5 starsThis massoia bark essential oil smells very woodsy and of very high quality. It is an essential part of my Jamaican Ambergris exquisite perfume! I will definitely order again.
