I have been sourcing high-quality natural aromatics for years. After friends and colleagues asked repeatedly, I recently added some extremely rare, exceptional quality oils and absolutes to my Store.

In the month since I began offering these aromatics, I've received many unsolicited testimonials:

From Nancy Brooks of NE Natural Soaps Says: Oh my, Oh Mai!

Hi Anya,

I am wallowing in ecstasy from the samples you sent along in the package! The rose de mai is like nothing I have ever smelled. Of course, I haven’t yet diluted it and simply sniffed it straight… its clarity and intensity are simply stunning. There’s an almost candy-like quality to it. I am going to have a field day playing with this! Of course, I’ll have to order some when you have it up on your site.

I am very impressed with the quality of your oils. It’s as if I’ve been eating hamburger all my life and someone just put down a grass-fed steak in front of me! The difference between yours and those I have received from other sources is amazing. Thank you for making these available.

Warmly,
Nancy

From Ruth Ruane of White Witch Natural Beauty and Perfumes:

I got my hands on some of Anya's Atlas Cedarwood, it grabbed me straight away because it's so different and it inspired me to add an entry to my journal. "So this is Cedarwood! Atlas Cedarwood actually. Now this is a gent if ever I smelled one. A smooth mover. All at once I am captivated ! I'm in the woods. Everything around me is alive.

I can smell the mossy stones and the leaves underfoot and the heavy laden evergreen branches overhead. The day is dry and yet there is a sweetness in the air. His eyes are light smoky green, his hair is long and chestnut brown. One wonders if it is possible to stay in this gentleman's company and remain grounded on the Earth.

From Isabelle Gelle, Natural Perfumer of Lily Moon

Waow!! I received my order of Agarwood from Anya today and it is just incredible!! As soon as I opened the bottle, I thought I was entering one of these high quality leather clothes shops, those designers'ones we find on the Champs Elysees or Faubourg St Honore in Paris - the Diors, Balenciaga and so forth... This agarwood is definitely for perfumers. To me it is Cuir de Russie revisited. One could even put it on without adding any other oils in it.... Everyone should get a sample from Anya... Thank you Anya.

I also got her Kaffir lime and now I am in Thailand, eating and tasting real Thai food! It is that special smell that you only find in Thai food and uplift your mind straightaway... Finally the Vanilla plantifolia is just exquisite! From Madagascar where I originally come from and yes, I confirm that it smells of Madagascar!

You also want to eat this one! As for the Atlas Cedarwood, once again, when I opened the bottle, my mind and body travelled,this time to the Atlas mountains. I could see camels and touaregs and for a few minutes, I was not in Yorkshire, UK, any longer: I was in a souk in Marrakech!!

Thank you Anya for these wonderful oils which are the types that all perfumers should look for as they definitely help your creative mind!!
