What are essential oils?
Some Scents simply there. Others have a deeper effect. Because they come directly from the plant—not from the laboratory.
What makes natural essential oils special, how they work—and what you can look out for:
Pure natural - nature-identical - synthetic.
Not everything that smells good comes from nature. And not everything that sounds natural is natural. Three terms keep cropping up - with subtle but important differences:
1. natural essential oils
What they are:
They come 100% directly from the plant - from flowers, herbs, woods, roots or shells. They are unadulterated, without additives. And their origin is clear. Like real lavender oil from the flower or peppermint oil from the leaf.
Effect:
Only all-natural essential oils have an aromatherapeutic effect. They relax, revitalize, strengthen - depending on the essence.
Use:
You will find it in real room fragrances - quietly effective, gently accompanying, noticeably deep.
2. nature-identical essential oils
What they are:
They are produced in laboratories. Their structure is similar to substances that occur naturally. They also smell like something natural—but do not come from plants. This applies not only Scents vanilla or menthol, but also Klassiker lavender or lemon—because they are cheaper to produce in laboratories.
Effect:
The connection to the plant is missing. And with it the aromatherapeutic effect. What remains is the smell - but without depth, without resonance.
Use:
They are used where the Scent is Scent focus—not the plant origin. Often in perfumes and cosmetics. Or in room fragrances, where a constant, intense Scent particularly Scent .
3. synthetic fragrances
What they are:
They are created entirely artificially in the laboratory—without any connection to nature. They Scents familiar Scents that cannot be extracted directly from plants, such as fig, berries, or leather.
Effect:
They often smell very intense, but - like nature-identical oils - have no effect. Here, too, there is no connection to nature.
Use:
You will find them in cleaning products, for example, but also in high-quality room fragrances, where Scent not the origin Scent , but a consistently intense Scent .
The effect of essential oils.
Naturally pure essential oils offer more than just a pleasant scent. They are derived from plants that naturally produce fragrances. These substances not only smell pleasant, but also trigger something within you.
This is precisely what aromatherapy describes: the beneficial effects of fragrances on the body, mood, and soul. It has been proven effective for centuries and is scientifically substantiated. Some oils promote relaxation. Others give you energy, awaken clarity, or instill confidence. Find out why Scents influence Scents mood here.

How are all-natural essential oils produced?
Naturally pure essential oils are created through careful processing, time, and experience. The method is crucial—because only gentle extraction preserves Scent effect.
Two methods have proven their worth:
- In steam distillation, the essential oil is extracted from the plant using hot steam - gently and without pressure.
- During cold pressing, the oil is pressed from the plant - similar to juice from a fruit. Without heat, without additives.
Depending on the plant, a lot of raw material is needed: for 100 liters of Swiss stone pine oil, for example, up to 1,000 kg of fresh twigs. The result is a pure natural essential oil: unadulterated and highly concentrated. This is the only way it can really work in a room - subtle, perceptible, genuine.
How to recognize genuine Scents.
1. 100 % pure natural.
A high-quality room fragrance is based on real essential oils. Apple, leather or coconut cannot be obtained naturally. If a room fragrance smells like this, synthetic substances are involved.
2. clear statement of content
Many products mention plants such as lavender or rosemary—even if they do not contain any real oils. You Scents only Scents naturally pure Scents if it is clearly stated that 100% essential oils have been used—without additives.
3. fine instead of loud.
A natural Scent is not Scent . It is subtle—but present.
4. well tolerated.
Many people react sensitively to synthetic fragrances - with headaches or discomfort. Natural essential oils have a different effect: gentle, clear, genuine.
What Looops Scents wears.
Each of our products begins with natural essential oils. In diffusers such as Quint, they are used in their pure form. In scented candles, they are mixed with vegetable wax. In fragrance sprays, they are combined with alcohol, and in Reed diffuser a vegetable liquid. Always genuine. Always effective.
Our Scents never just a single note—they are a composition of several essential oils that complement and enhance each other. More than the sum of their parts. The result is a Scent that not only smells good—it has an effect.
