Escents is headed to the Wellness show this weekend - very excited and
we hope you all can come down and visit us. There will be prizes,
samples and some AMAZING deals!! We’re also giving away two pairs of
tickets. Click here to enter. Escents philosophy is to work hard
to launch products that are safe, effective and kind to the
environment. We are committed to living well and our Mantra is that we
are all “born from nature” and so, as our products will be put onto
your bodies, they must also come from nature. We always do our best. We
work hard to keep up with the latest ingredients, most safest
alternatives to things like laurel sulphates, parabens and
preservatives. We believe less is more. Simple as possible. We believe
that taking great care of your skin means understanding what you put on
it. Especially since most of what goes on your body, makes its way into
your body. The good, the bad and the ugly. So we’ve created body care
and aromas that don’t just smell nice, they are nice.
We received this
lovely letter a few days ago from Allison - a long-term customer at our Victoria store...thank you Allison for
your kind words! It's because of people like you that we get to
celebrate 20 years. Tell us your stories at 20years@escentsaromatherapy.com.
Because of Escents I became more educated about aromatherapy
and use essentials oils almost every day. I love that Escents was a source of
information and quality essential oils. I have SUCH a collection and am always
open to more scents. I love being able to make my own blends for me, my kids,
and friends.
My kids enjoyed olive oil rubs as babies and as they grew, I
introduced lavender and other mild oils. My 10 year old son now requests leg
massages and likes trying blends with rosemary, pine, lavender and other mixes.
He says lavender helps him to relax and sleep. My 8 year old daughter requests
spearmint or peppermint on her hot pack when her tummy is bothering her. She
also likes abdomen rubs with mints or lavender.
I made a cinnamon roll-on for my son’s friend by special
request as my friend was always using the headache roll-on I bought her from Escents. Now, he has his own mild cinnamon version that he can use whenever he
likes.
Thanks for being a source of a “healthy” obsession for me
for many years. I am so proud to support a BC company.

success story is yours as much as it is ours.
So, lets party! For all of 2012 we invite you to celebrate
with us in store and online.
Over lunch, in our Vancouver head office, the Escents team was getting giddy with excitement about the launch of our new signature collection, Iris. I was asked, "Why Iris?" What was you're inspiration?"
Recently a group of us from Escents went to
Turkey to see the rose harvest.We toured
the country and visited rose farms where we had an incredible 12 days and
learned everything possible about roses.It was a magical trip,a once in
a lifetime experience.
It was a magical trip,a once in
a lifetime experience.
When leaving Vancouver I didn't know what I
would find when we got to Turkey what I found was a place where I was
confronted with both a modern outlook and old worldliness.It is a fascinating, marvelous and enchanting
Country from its Southern Mediterranean beaches to its mountainous natural
wonders.
While there I also fell in love with the Iris -
this beautiful flower grows wild throughout Turkey.It was amazing to be touring and walking
around the countryside and seeing these majestic, bold flowers growing
everywhere,their beautiful, blue color
in stark contrast to the often remote and desolate surroundings in which they
grew.
