Another UK oil supplier bites the dust-my error

May 7, 2008

Oops sorry my mistake, yes they they are still selling oils. The link

was not easy to find and to me that indicates the lower priority for

the oils part of the business of this perfume and cosmetics supplier.

My mistake does not detract from the fact that essential oil suppliers

in the UK are struggling to keep going because of low sales from a

combination of market decline, and over saturation of the numerous

know nothing web site operators. These people often sell with illegal

medicinal claims, have out of date oils, fake oils, you name it!

Similar I think to the US situation now.

The history of that company is that the original Tisserand business

was taken over by Alan Harris many years ago, but carried on trading

under the 'Tisserand' brand. While Tisserand (as most of you know

moved) to America. This new business has again taken over, but

continue using the brand name. Using brand names is of course a

common sales tactic in all kinds of industries.
