Do flower essences smell pretty?

No, they are not meant to. Flower essences (or flower remedies) are sometimes confused with essential oils or aromatherapy products. But they are not even remotely similar. Essential oils are the volatile oils which were extracted or distilled from a plant therefore they have a scent. We have multiple certifications in aromatherapy and have worked with it since 1982 but it is not our favored modality any longer. To make essential oil a huge amount of plant material must picked and used to distill the oils and we feel this is not the best way to honor or work with plants. We prefer the gentler approach of our no-pick method flower essences. When you open your flower essence bottle you will smell the Brandy which is used to preserve the energy-water. Without the brandy mold would grow.  more
