Essences can be collected from fresh juice in a number of ways, including partial distillation prior to juice evaporation or by condensation of volatiles from the early stages of evaporation. De-oiling juice is important as the acid pH causes chemical degradation of the terpenes leading to off-flavours. Two phases, namely aqueous and oil, are obtained during recovery. The composition of essence oils is similar to that of peel oils but the essence oils usually contain a larger amount of aliphatic ethyl esters. Thus, their aroma resembles that of a particular juice more than that of peel oils.

The screw-pressing of the fruit produces a juice-essential oil emulsion. The emulsion is then steam distilled and the oil separated from the condensate by decantation. The drastic thermal treatment in the highly acidic lime juice leads to changes in the essential oil.

Rosmarinus officinalis is grown around the Mediterranean coastline. Its name is derived from the Latin meaning "dew of the sea," as it is said that in many locations the only water it needs to live is the humidity in the air carried from the sea. For the best quality oil, only the fresh flowering tops should be distilled but some producers use the whole plant, thus yielding a lower grade oil.

There are thousands of different types of roses, however Bulgarian rose oil is distilled from rosa damascena. The essential oil (or rose otto) is distilled from the freshly collected petals.

The sandalwood is a parasitic tree. The wood is used for religious ceremonies in India and Sri Lanka and the oil production is heavily regulated when not completely banned. Other varieties are available from origins such as Indonesia, Australia and South African but the oil profiles are all quite different in each region.

Made from Mentha spicata, USA, India, and China are the main sources of spearmint oil. Each origin has its own specific composition profile meaning that one cannot be directly substituted for another, however blending can overcome this. Our Chinese oil has a minimum 60% natural carvone content.

In the aboriginal history of Australia, the leaves of Melaleuca were used as a herbal tea, which has given the common name tea tree oil to the Melaleuca alternifolia. The oil is produced by water or steam distillation of the leaves and twigs. Two main origins are traded in large volumes; China and Australia. The total production can vary wildly from year to year as the plants are prone to suffer from drought conditions or the fields are subject to floodings, especially in Australia. The market price is therefore quite volatile.
