Another UK oil supplier bites the dust

[Guest guest]

Some people here may remember that a few months back I warned people

against getting into supplying essential oils due to the decline in,

and saturation of, the market. I see now that even the long

established company trading under the Tisserand name has sold out to a

perfume and alied products company. Can't even find oils on their

site anymore: http://www.escentual.com/

 

I know even some of the other long established companies are having a

hard time. One reason is because everyone and their mother have set

up web sites selling oils. Often with absolutely no training or

experience. So please be very careful not to be misled by fancy

marketing hype, they may well be just selling oils and not give a damn

about what they sell or how it may affect your health if wrongly used.

Hi Martin,

Playing devil's advocate here.

Is 'Escentual' the brand Tisserand sold oils under? If I look up the

site www.tisserand.com I do find some essential oils.

Amen! I wish every newbie supplier had a copy of Plant Aromatics on

hand to help balance things out.

Hey Stacey

 

I looked up the escential oil site. They are selling oils under the

tisserand name. They aren't easily located though. Not like all their other

" stuff "

I'm thinking I am very dense since I just don't see the connection

here between the Tisserand name and the Escentuals website. To me, it

just looks like a bunch of random 'fragrant' crap all labeled under

one website. (Christina Aguilera fragrance, anyone?)

Is or was this site owned by Tisserand sometime in the past? Did the

gentleman once own the name 'Escentuals'? Where am I getting lost here?

Any room in there for the rest of us?

Hey again Stace

 

From what I understand from what martin said (and I could so easily have

gotten it wrong), Tisserand sold out to the Crap Company. Said Crap Company

is still selling oils under the Tisserand name, which would make a certain

marketing sense as the name carries a certain authority with it. I'm

wondering if the Crap Company bought the name and will continue selling

oils, or if it will discontinue once they run out of their current supplies.

If they bought the name, then they could sell any old crap oil, sell it

under the Tisserand name and you won't know what the hell you are getting.

 

But I'm real good at coming up with conspiracy theories and could be way off

base.

 

As for my deep black hole, there's only room for one I'm afraid. I sitting

in it and contemplating my navel until I can put forth a plan of action. Not

intending to sound mysterious, just waiting for news if we're going to move

or not. In the meantime, I'm sitting in flipping limbo and going NUTZ! So my

dark hole right now is filled with the ravings of a mad woman trying to be

patient. ;-)
