Welcome to the world of essential oils! At QuinteScent Heritage, we are on a mission to help you distinguish true natural treasures from synthetic imitations. These essential oils are not simply plant extracts, they are nature’s heritage, and we want to show you how to recognize and use them to enhance your well-being by exploring the characteristics of premium natural essential oils.

The Origin of Plants:

The first step towards recognizing the best essential oils is to learn more about their origin. For us, they are more than essential oils, they are a heritage ! Quality essential oils come from plants grown in optimal conditions, without the use of pesticides or herbicides. At QuinteScent Heritage, we work with producers who favor organic and sustainable growing practices.

In addition, we ensure that each aromatic plant is grown in its country of origin. We partner with local women to harvest sustainably, without uprooting the roots. We only pick the leaves and flowers, ensuring that the ecosystem is protected for future generations.

How to recognize the best natural essential oils:

Purity becomes an essential characteristic when discussing the best essential oils. At QuinteScent Heritage, we are committed to explaining to you how to distinguish a pure essential oil, extracted directly from the plant, from cheap imitations diluted with solvents or other lesser quality oils.

Authentic purity begins with the extraction method. At QuinteScent Heritage, we use gentle methods such as steam distillation or cold expression to preserve the natural properties of the plants. This ensures that our essential oils are not altered in any way.

On site, we distill the harvested plants to extract their essential oil, separating it from the water. It takes about 100 kg of plants to produce 1 liter of oil!

Several methods are used depending on the plant:

We will detail how to recognize the best essential oils through extraction methods:

Steam distillation

This method involves boiling the parts of the plant (leaves, stems, flowers, etc.) in water to produce a vapor containing the aromatic molecules. Then, we cool the vapor to condense the essential oil and floral water, and then separate the two liquids to collect the essential oil.

Cold expression

This method involves pressing parts of the plant to extract the benefits. Parts of the plant are pressed to extract essential oils, especially for hard nuts like citrus fruits.

CO2 extraction

To extract our vanilla essential oil we use this modern and very expensive method. Consequently, it allows us to obtain very high quality essential oils. The plant masses are crossed by a current of CO2, thus increasing the pressure, and naturally bursting the aroma bags.

At QuinteScent, we only take the first pressing because you deserve the best of the best! Indeed, the first pressing of essential oils is considered the purest and highest quality, because it contains the highest concentration of natural aromatic components present in plants. Consequently, this guarantees the effectiveness and potency of the oil, as well as its superior quality.

How to recognize the best natural essential oils through the power of smell:

Smell is a powerful ally in identifying the best essential oils. We will guide you to recognize their exceptional and authentic scent. The smell of an essential oil can be an indicator of quality.

When you smell a high-quality essential oil, you perceive a pure, fresh, and natural scent that directly evokes the scent of the original plant. The scent should be rich, complex, and balanced, revealing a variety of nuances and notes. For example, a quality lavender essential oil gives off a sweet and soothing floral aroma, while a quality lemon essential oil exudes an invigorating and revitalizing scent.

On the other hand, lower quality essential oils or synthetic imitations often have an artificial scent. This scent can be unbalanced or even unpleasant due to additives or chemicals that alter their natural fragrance. This makes it easy to distinguish them from pure essential oils.

When evaluating an essential oil, give yourself time to perceive its scent and become familiar with its unique olfactory character. As you develop your sense of smell and your ability to identify good essential oils, you will fully appreciate the benefits they offer to your well-being and health.

Rigorous Testing:

At QuinteScent Heritage, we place great importance on quality. Once the essential oil arrives in Canada, we perform a quality analysis to ensure that it meets the required standards in terms of purity and effectiveness, which guarantees that our brand is 100% vegan, natural and organic! In addition, our company is proudly Quebecois and fair trade!
