Simple Essentials’ unique fragrance formulations are based on Kim’s extensive knowledge of the therapeutic nature of fragrance, developing perfumes and signature fragrances with a “therapeutic twist”. Focus is on natural rather than synthetic, creating the most exquisite formulations that smell alive and vibrant. Our knowledge of complementary health therapies together with our formulation skills, contribute to creating unique natural synergies. All our formulations are bespoke and are created to a specific brief dictated by you, the client. We specialise in using rare, unusual and exotic essential oils, extracts and raw materials within blends, to create matchless fragrances with strong and interesting marketing rationale behind them. Developing fragrances requires specialist skills, in particular a deep understanding of the relationships between the multitudes of fragrance components.
