What's the difference in essential oils and perfume/fragrance oils?
Essential oils are derived from steam distillation of natural plants, roots, barks, etc.  Perfume oils are man-made chemicals used simply for the fragrance, but, some MAY contain real essential oils in the basic makeup.  Essential oils are what is used in aromatherapy treatments.  Perfume/Fragrance oils have no aromatherapy value.
