Essential oils and absolutes
Essential oils and absolutes are the concentrated extracts of plants, barks, grasses, seeds and fruits. These powerful oils have the energy to affect people on many levels. Aromatherapy is the use of these amazing essences in a pure form or mixed with a base. When applied topically or used to scent your personal space, oils can affect the physical and mental body, invoke deeper spiritual awareness and also be effective for esthetic purposes.
Kismet Potions synergies are lovingly created in small 120 ml batches to assure that each fragrance is true to its original form. Every oil is handpicked for its purity. Perfumer Kris Wrede has over 20 years of experience in choosing the most lavish combinations to please every olfactory palette. All the blends are therapeutic on every level and adhere to the traditions of perfumery, using top, middle and base notes to round out each blend for a subtle yet powerful finish.
Synergies can be added to unscented body products, skin care, environmental fragrances, candles, perfumes and colognes. These are for companies who wish to use the purest and most effective organic and wildly grown oils to make their products stand out in the market. Individuals that want the highest quality and most effective products for themselves and their family can also use these synergies. Essential synergies are the pure fragrance... masterful blends of essential oils specially created to enhance each individual oil for maximum benefit of the blend.
