What I Love About This Blend

Hey, Katie here! I’m the head aromatherapist here at Simply Earth and I also formulated Timber Essential Oil Blend. 

I made this blend thinking about the kind of aroma I would like for my husband. I love the woody and vanilla aroma of this blend. It’s going in all of his toxin-free personal care products. People are going to ask, “Is there a vanilla forest nearby?” But it’ll just be Lee 😉.
