Essentially Oils of Chipping Norton Oxfordshire ceased trading in June 2011 following the illness of its Director Charles Wells. Besides wishing Charles Wells a speedy personal recovery I would just like to say a thankyou for fifteen years of excellent service to aromatherapy. Essentially Oils was the firm I turned to whenever a customer sought an oil, carrier or hydrolat which was not on the Shirley Price product list and for advice on product testing. Charles wrote many articles on essential oils and a valuable newsletter. I am sorry to see these articles are not available online now as I enjoyed dipping into these. Charles enthusiasm and experience and that of his family was much appreciated at Shirley Price Aromatherapy and will be much missed.

They obviously had financialproblems for over a year - and what a pity that they carried on taking money off people's cards right up to the last minute...
ReplyDeleteI guess my money is gone then, I have been waiting for a 500 pound refund, real nice of them!!
ReplyDeleteI am in touch with the Accountants so let me know and I can put a claim in for you.
ReplyDeleteI realised something was wrong when I didn't receive my order. Lets have a little compassion and think about the well being of Charles, Jan, Justin and the rest of the team who were always pleasant and helpful. Any one of us could be in this position in this economic climate.
ReplyDeleteI will miss the newsletter with its introductory "banter". It brought a smile to my face. Thank you Charles for your musings and knowledge.
Jim and Avis at Auld Wayes wish you all well.
hear hear :) Tina Mason
DeleteI wish Charles all the very best and hope that the rest of the team can put something else together.
ReplyDeleteI too loved the oils and the newsletter.
{ Firstly I'd like to apologize for the anonymous bit, its just that I don't know how to do any of the others hence why I've included my name at the bottom }.
Finding another company with the quality of oil will be hard.
You will be sadly missed.
Wishing all the very best,
Tina Mason ( Nee Sale )
I was saddened when I attempted to order oils and found the site had not been updated. Thank you Shirley for your comments. I was also a fan and follower of Essentially oils and am having a difficult time finding another provider with such quality, variety and service. They are sorely missed.
