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,

* Yuzu
Based on a piquant and aromatic citrus fruit from Japan, our Yuzu is the essence of refreshment and revitalization. How delicious to start the Spring with this 100% botanical perfume!

* Sud de France
In the South of France life has a different pace; a feeling of ease and the elation to be at one with Nature. No wonder so many delightful aromatics flourish in this environment; the lavender sings, the bergamot shines and the hay fields glisten with the warmth of the day. (made with 100% Botanical ingredients).

* Bermuda Lyme
A reminiscence of voyages from the Olde World to the New... Fresh Caribbean breezes mix with exotic spices, rum, dark wood notes and of course, refreshing lime. In keeping with the tradition of 'eau fraiche' scents for Summer, Bermuda Lyme is both, coolly light and bright and yet complex. So, whether you're sailing on a schooner or just enjoying the clear blue sky, this is your new Summer scent.

Eau Fraiche scents and new variations of Eau de Cologne style scents are the BIG news in fragrance this Season. We think you'll find Bermuda Lyme is the perfect new, must have scent; it's fabulous for men and women!
