natural essences
Pure botanical concentrates
Natural essences are concentrated extracts derived from plants, flowers, or other organic sources, capturing their characteristic fragrance or flavor.
The term appears in perfumery, aromatherapy, and food production: The candle was made with natural essences of lavender and eucalyptus.
In philosophical and spiritual contexts, natural essences may refer to the fundamental qualities believed to inhere in living things—their intrinsic nature rather than artificial properties.
