Like almost all of you - well, a lot of you - I had huge respect and appreciation for Charles amd the team and the company Essentially Oils, all the weekends amd day workshops they would run but especially the essential oils, floral waters, carrier oils, etc. No one has done more for aromatherapy amd quality control of essential oils than Essentially Oils. I am so SO saddened by the closure of this business (and obviously the health issues but that’s a private personal matter and I was merely a customer). There is no equivalent now for me even with the internet bringing an international market to me, because I just haven’t found anywhere that supplies the extensive range, the obscure and exotic oils, at the same reliable high quality. I just want to offer my regards to the memory of the business: Essentially Oils - you only ever truly appreciate something once it’s gone, amd for all the trouble the business clearly got into and for all the people who lost money because of this, all that aside, Essentially Oils was Simply the Best. I am genuinely sorry it’s no longer trading - what a loss for aromatherapy <br />Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11203401640299040199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1082485421416759493.post-79838026834961574592015-11-29T00:15:08.051-08:002015-11-29T00:15:08.051-08:00I too loved those newsletters and really miss the ...I too loved those newsletters and really miss the company for buying my oils, which I am just restarting to use.

Their products were wonderful as was their service (information & shipping).

However, when I was studying & practising aromatherapy about 2000/2003, I got all my supplies from Essentially oils, loved my newsletters etc, and the occasional conversation on the phone, as did my sis in Scotland. If you can read this Charles, thanks for the quality oils, your wit, charm and humanity.

Also,if anyone finds somewhere equal or nearly as good as to order from I would be very eager to know.If you read this dear Charles&co-I wish you&yours all the best for your future&thankyou for all that you gave over the years.I for one,was truly grateful!x craziepuss@hotmail.co.uk ;-)Kosi.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1082485421416759493.post-55103444242090312642013-08-22T18:44:15.287-07:002013-08-22T18:44:15.287-07:00Hello Jill,
I also was saddened to hear...Hello Jill,<br /> I also was saddened to hear of the illness that resulted in Charles closing down his Essentially Oils website. I eagerly looked forward to receiving his monthly newsletters each month since 2002. They were full of information of new oils on the market that I had never heard of previously.I also loved turning over to the back page to see what oils were on special offer for the month in order to tempt me to purchase them at a reduced price!!! I NEVER had any problems with my orders over the 10 years that I was a subscriber. I have found nothing since that comes up to the standard of his newsletters despite looking everywhere.<br /> I would be interested in purchasing the newsletters that you have for sale. If you live within a 20 mile radius of Dartford, Kent then I would be happy to call-collect in order to save on postage costs etc.<br /> You can contact me by e-mail at irishliamhayes@gmail.com and let me know.<br /> I look forward to hearing from you Jill,<br /> Slainte and Good Health,<br /> LIAM Hayes.
