Essence sells custom perfumes and aromatherapy. Custom blending of scents is the essence of Essence, which allows customers to sit and relax at the fragrance bar and handpick their favorite scents for blending. In addition to its custom and house blends, Essence carries a number of designer fragrances in pure oil form, which means they are alcohol free, so they'll last longer and won't cause allergic reactions. You'll also find a variety of bath and beauty products, such as sulfate free shampoos, sugar scrub, and the very popular Urban Rituelle lip gloss and vegetable soaps. Essence is also available for private "fragrance parties."
