Fragrances Scents and Oils - Essense Oils from DSH Perfumes

Welcome to DSH! You have arrived at Essense Oils, the side our site based on the original "ESSENSE" Perfumery of Newbury Street, Boston. It is where our first fragrance collection (Essense Studio) is listed, as well as our single note / accord oils and aromatherapy collections / essential oils are available. It is also where you will find the largest selection of Bath and Body products to compliment our scents and our Custom design services, as it was in our ESSENSE Perfumery. (*The Parfums des Beaux Arts side of the site is where you will find all of our 'ready-to-wear' perfumes, specialty collections and collection box miniature gift sets. Just click on the small icon in the upper left side of this page to instantly jump to Parfums des Beaux Arts).

DSH Perfumes is a site dedicated to the senses, our connection to them, and especially our most neglected and deepest reaching sense: Our sense of smell. It is the product of nearly 20 years work with perfumery and aromatherapy essences, as well as my background as a visual artist. This site reflects my passion for scent, perfumes, healing oils, and images; in all things beautiful. I hope you will enjoy DSH Perfumes as much as I enjoy bringing it to you.
Thank you for allowing me to share my world with you,

Cupid's arrows are flying only to pierce our hearts with love. Romance is in the air and we come bearing our most cherished tokens: violets, red roses and chocolate. St. Valentine is an elixir of love... a sensual floriental-gourmand perfume of richness and grace.

* Hanukah Cannelle
This year's Holiday scent was inspired by my favorite Hanukah dish: one made of apples, cinnamon, nuts and honey. Of course, I've taken some artistic liberties to create a Holiday perfume that's sexy, luscious and a delight to wear. Let's spice it up!
