At Yougi, we believe that the power of scent can transport us to a world of sensory delights, awaken our senses, and create cherished memories. As passionate candle artisans, we take pride in creating candles that not only smell divine but also reflect our commitment to sustainability and health. In this blog post, we'll explore the differences between natural essential oils and synthetic fragrances, and why Yougi Botanical's use of natural essential oils gives us a competitive edge in creating candles that capture the true aroma of nature.  

1. Understanding Natural Essential Oils: Nature's Purest Aroma Natural essential oils are extracted from botanical sources, such as flowers, leaves, stems, and roots, through methods like steam distillation and cold pressing. They are the purest form of aroma that nature has to offer, containing the true essence of plants in their scent. Natural essential oils are known for their complex, nuanced, and authentic fragrances that cannot be replicated by synthetic fragrances. They also have therapeutic properties, promoting relaxation, uplifting moods, and enhancing well-being. At Yougi, we source our natural essential oils from a UK supplier who share our values of sustainability and ethical practices, ensuring that our candles are crafted with the finest natural ingredients.

2. Synthetic Fragrance: The Artificial Alternative On the other hand, synthetic fragrances are created in laboratories using a combination of chemicals, attempting to replicate the scent of natural essential oils. However, synthetic fragrances lack the complexity, authenticity, and therapeutic benefits of natural essential oils. They are also known to contain potentially harmful chemicals, such as phthalates and allergens, which can be detrimental to human health and the environment. At Yougi, we believe in the power of nature and choose to avoid the use of synthetic fragrances in our candles, ensuring that our candles are as pure and natural as possible.

When it comes to candles, the choice between natural essential oils and synthetic fragrances matters. With Yougi's commitment to using natural essential oils, you can experience candles that capture the true aroma of nature, elevating your senses and transforming your space.
