The Complete Guide to Aromatherapy Third Edition Vol I

As I’ve been working through the Aromatree perfume course, The Complete Guide to Aromatherapy Vol I has become an invaluable companion, almost like a wise mentor sitting beside me (in additions to Sal 😊 ), filling in the deeper layers of knowledge behind every oil.

What I love most is how comprehensive yet approachable it is. The book doesn’t just list essential oils; it explores their chemistry, their therapeutic actions, their emotional profiles, and their cultural histories with a level of respect that mirrors the Aromatree philosophy.

For anyone studying perfumery, aromatherapy, or simply wanting to understand the soul of essential oils, this book is a treasure.

I bought this as I am going to update my Aromatherapy qualification next year and I wanted the latest edition of this book. I bought the first edition back in the 90's when I first fell in love with Aromatherapy so I knew this would be my go to textbook for my next course. This is an excellent reference work and THE recommended text for all Aromatherapy students. I have also purchased volume III and can't wait for volume II to come out later this year. If you are interested in furthering your knowledge of Aromatherapy you can't go wrong with this book as it is as informative, as it is educational. Sal is very passionate about Aromatherapy and it shows in all his work.
