Scented stones & essential oils
The relationship between a porous mineral and aromatic plants.
A scented stone and an essential oil bring together a mineral that can hold a little liquid and a concentrated aromatic extract obtained from plants. Together, they offer a simple, flame-free way to fragrance a small space.
These oils are for people to enjoy as home fragrance. They are not intended for use on animals.
How does the fragrance travel?
When plaster sets, microscopic pores and spaces form. A little oil applied to the dry stone enters this structure; volatile aromatic compounds then evaporate into the air. This is passive evaporation or diffusion. The stone does not actively spray or nebulise oil.

Important precautions
Essential oils are concentrated. Natural does not automatically mean harmless.
- Keep oils and scented stones away from children and pets.
- Avoid direct skin contact with concentrated oils. Follow the oil supplier’s instructions.
- Prevent drips onto painted, varnished or delicate surfaces.
- Keep stones away from food and food-preparation areas.
- Use fragrance in appropriately ventilated spaces.
- Stop using it if it causes irritation, headaches or respiratory discomfort.
If you have animals, read our precautions for pet owners before introducing fragrance into your home.
