The oils, grouped the way we talk about them

Mints, grasses, florals, spice and citrus, and the heavy base notes. Each one below is an oil we currently supply.

The mint family

Kanpur sits in India’s mint belt, so these are the oils we know best and hold most often.

High menthol content. Food, pharma, oral care and cosmetics.

Sweeter and rounder. Gum, toothpaste and confectionery.

Field crops distilled close to harvest. High volume, and the workhorses of repellent and soap making.

Citral-rich and bright. Soaps, candles, repellents.

The mosquito repellent standard. Coils, sprays, outdoor lines.

Smaller lots, higher value. Usually bought by skincare formulators and aromatherapy brands.

Rosy with a green edge. Skincare and natural perfumery.

Gentle and costly. Sold in small, carefully checked quantities.

Flavour and top-note work. Both of these move in modest volumes but get reordered steadily.

Warm and sweet spice. Flavour houses and premium personal care.

Bitter citrus lift. Fragrance, tea flavouring, cosmetics.

The heavy, long-lasting oils that hold a fragrance together. Both are distilled slowly and priced accordingly.

Earthy and dark. Improves with age, which is unusual for an oil.

Distilled from roots, not leaves. Smoky fixative for fine fragrance.
