Two Oils, Two Purposes—but One Shared Goal: Scented Serenity
When browsing through Morimoon’s collection, you’ll notice two types of oils: Essential Oils and Fragrance Oils. Both bring beautiful scents into your life—but they serve different purposes, and understanding the difference will help you choose the right one for your needs.
What Are Essential Oils?
Essential oils are pure plant extracts, steam-distilled or cold-pressed from flowers, herbs, roots, and other botanical parts. They are completely natural and used not just for fragrance, but also for therapeutic benefits.
At Morimoon, our essential oils are 100% pure, with no synthetic additives—ideal for those who seek holistic wellness and emotional balance.
Best for:
Aromatherapy
Meditation
Relaxation rituals
Natural skincare (with carrier oil)
Bath and body blends

Serene Sage – grounding, spiritually clarifying

What Are Fragrance Oils?
Fragrance oils are specially formulated blends, often combining natural and synthetic aromatic ingredients to create long-lasting, complex scents. Unlike essential oils, they’re not limited by what nature offers—meaning they can replicate or enhance a wide variety of luxurious aromas.
At Morimoon, our fragrance oils are designed with perfume-level complexity—perfect for DIY candle-making and home ambiance.
