Quite alright, I was meaning to write you anyway! The oils are wonderful and exactly what I needed. They arrived in a very timely manner and just in time. I've purchased from some local shops before, but I've never found this kind of quality before. I am about to order some more!

thank you again.

I love them! I've told friends about you and at least one has ordered from you. Thanks! j

Greetings Scott, the oils are fine, I have just been a little wrapped up in life right now. They came without any problems, and I have no complaints of any kind on them. Perhaps when I.m a little more flush I will concentrate more on expanding my collection, and maybe I will be at a point where I can do the affiliate thing if you are still offering that.

Thanks much for the check up,

Blessings

Subject: Re: How do you mix the oils to make a spray?

Thankyou for the follow up note. I did receive the oils, however I am not sure how to mix them. I have a bottle to use, but I don't know what to mix with the oils to use them as a spray. Is it water and alcohol, or what? I hope that you can help me with this question, I look forward to wearing the oils very soon!! Thankyou, and have a great day!!!!

Julie

Dear Julie

I hope this helps.

A spray can be made by placing less than 2% essential oil in Vodka , preferably one with less odor and shaking vigorously until it is mixed then sprayed immediately , avoiding the eyes.. An Alcohol will mix with essential oils better than water. Essential oils will float to the top of water. If you use water add less than 1% essential oil, shake vigorously until it is mixed then spray immediately, avoiding the eyes. When using water mix only a small amount to use in a few weeks, as water can deteriorate essential oil over a period of time.

The leaflet that came with your oils will show you a few recipes.

From: "Denise McMillan"

got the oils and love them.

This is a response to the essential oils I recieved from your website. I was very impressed by the selection and convience you provided. The oils are a gift and I know the person will enjoy.

Dear Scott

The Oils that ordered have arrived and are great. I will certainly be placing more orders with you.

Please could you change my eMail address that you have to my home eMail account

Thank you for your help.

You are more than welcome to publish my comments on your web page.

Dear Scott,

I am an extremely satisfied customer. I always receive my oils on time, and so far, have had no problems with internet fraud on my bank account.

The oils, as far as my limited knowledge is concerned, seem to be of impeccable quality; a highly impressive service. I have been recommending Kobashi to fellow amateur aromatherapists at every opportunity. Hope it pays off.

Please feel free to publish my comments on your web page. I think you are providing an excellent service.

Yours appreciatively, (if there is such a word)

From: SANDRA LEITÃO

Thank you for your attention.

I´ve received your oils and they are good for my work I´m using them and my clients are glad with the treatments.

I think by the end of this year I will be ordering more and maybe before christmas I´ll be doing so.

My best wishes

Sandra

Just wanted to say Thank-you.  The oils are wonderful and your service is very fast!  I am impressed.  Sincerely, Mindy

Yes, ... it's ok a use my comments..

I am enjoying the oils very much! I mixed the rosemary with jojoba and I use it on my hair prior to my workout; when I shower, my hair is nice and soft, and it stimulates my scalp as I perspire. Great product!

Karen Fisher

Hi Scott,

I don't mind the informal letter at all - short and sweet! The oils are lovely thank you. I particularly like the lemon grass which we use in the oil burner - it abolishes all smells, especially pipe smoke! My husband prefers the patchouli and is convinced it makes him fell less stressed when he is burning it. I do quite like the woody smell myself actually. We look forward to trying different ones. particularly the festive blend - sounds interesting?!

You may use any of my comments on your website - Hope this is useful,

Mrs Sue Gaughan

I am enjoying all my new oils a great deal. I have found a few favorite blends and I have been using them quite a bit. I also compared your prices with a few other operations in the US, your prices are by far more competitive, and the products are exceptional.

Web site is brilliant
Delivery was prompt
Packaging was excellant
Quality of oils superb

What more can I say.

I like these oils.
Quality is good, process is speedy and accurate. But there are some suggestions to make you better:

1.Offer more items in essential oils

More items to come.

2.Set up a returning guest data base, so the guest won't need to fill in long boring order form every time.

Please inable cookies, then you will only have to put the state, country and credit card in again.

3.Show the total purchase amount completely in shopping list and confirmation letter. I usually see a question mark in the dollar position like ?.45 or ??.76. It makes people hesitate to order.

This is because you may have special character set, such as Japanese or Chinese.

I have received my first order and I loved them! The Jasmine oil is far superior to any other company that I have tried and I have tried many! What I would like to know is did you receive my 2nd order? I was just going to try to check with you and I got your E. Great timing! Sp please let me know. Many thanks for your fine products!

They were nice. I did however find a Canadian distributor of essential oils and it is financially less expensive for me to purchase them here.

Thanks,
Debbie Droefke

Dear Debbie

You can always find cheaper and more expensive; quality is not a price.

From: "Cannon, Sandra M NWK

They seem very nice. I have used them a few times. Your service is great and your oils seem to be of very good quality. 

Can you give me your website again? I would like to try some other oils.

Thanks! and no problem about using my comments on the web.

Dear Kobashi Essential Oils,

I love your oils. I add them to shampoos etc, and the tea tree oil's excellent for antiseptic use, etc. Do you have a newsletter ? I'd like to recieve it , if you do!

bye for now,

The oils are great! I may be using more toward the holidays and have you site bookmarked.

Thanks,

From: "Clare BALLERINI"

I am very happy with my oils - have no time to enter into correspondence with you now but please send me your updated list of oils including base creams, gifts for Christmas, etc. In case you are researching the most common ones >I use at home are lavender - for calming in rooms and in base oil with geranium for calming massages for the children and myself eucalyptus and lemon in humidifiers , etc for the cold throats which abound over here in the autumn patchouli and sandalwood in oil for hair treatment

Hope to be ordering soon!

Dear Sirs,

I have received the oils earlier than a month ago. Although I have very little experience on essential oils, they seem OK to me.

Thanks!

The oils are wonderful! Thank you so much for the high quality products and rapid service. I'm located in Seattle, Washington, USA, and was so impressed at the speed with which I received the oils. They are reasonably priced and of excellent quality.

I look forward to ordering from Kobashi again in the future!

Kind Regards,

The oils are great. Thanks, Darla Purdy

From: Caroline Wolbrecht

I received them long ago and they are great. I used the peppermint in my soap. Wow! My peppermint soap is to my body what a York Peppermint Patty is to my mouth. I don't notice it until I start to towel off, then BANG! This coolness washes over me. I love it! I am getting ready to go to your site and order more, plus more patchouli and geranium.

Thanks. :) cpw

Hello!

My oils are great! I will be visiting your web site soon to
place an order.
Thank You!

I am thoroughly pleased with my Kobashi oils. Patchouli has been my favorite since the sixties and it is sometimes difficult to find high quality patchouli. I am also interested in finding some "sweet patchouli oil". Any ideas where I might find some?

Thanks

Pam

From: Mary Graham

I received the oils I ordered in record time of 4 days, much quicker than most us mailing systems I might add. Oils are great and I enjoy them. Easiest company I have found, quite by accident, is yours to order from.

Thank you.

Dear Scott,

Thank you thank you thank you!!! The oils are simply the most wonderful and pure scents I have ever experienced! I so appreciate your superior product AND SERVICE. I look forward to doing further business with you.

Many Blessings to you and yours,

I recently ordered rose otto from your online web site.

I have received my essential oil and am very pleased. I am thrilled to have located an online source for such a wide variety of high quality oils - especially hard-to-find oils such as rose otto.

I also liked the safety literature and helpful hints that were enclosed with my order.

I will definitely buy more oil in the future from Kobashi.

Sincerely,

Beth Ann Brulotte

I love them. I just started getting into blending oils and they come out pretty good. I put them in my body oils, my bath and a mist bottle with water to freshen my rooms.

I will defintely be ordering more oils in the near future.

Thank you for asking.

Jules

I have been very pleased with your oils. They perform as you have described and they arrived so quickly. Using essential oils in place of chemical detergents and, when appropriate, in place of drugs has changed our life. Thank you for producing quality products.

Regards, Valerie Kennedy, Chandler, Arizona, USA

As you already know, I recently purchased 5 or 6 essential oils. I absolutely love them!!! I am so glad to have found quality oils at outstanding prices! Thank you! I was even impressed with how quickly. I received them, being that you are based in UK and I in the US. You can expect another order from me real soon!

Sincerely,

Jessica

Yes, it's ok to publish my letter.

Biographical Note.

Steve Hare is a holistic clinical aromatherapist and Director of ARC - The Complementary Practice Ltd which combines aromatherapy, reflexology and counselling based in Moira, County Down, Northern Ireland.

'Buying essential oils is a matter of trust - a therapist must be able to trust their supplier absolutely, because their clients depend upon them completely. Important as feelings are, trust is not just a -'.feels right" factor, even the most honest supplier can be hoodwinked. In the field of essential oils I want my feelings to be supplemented by rational judgement this means I want evidence and not just the evidence of my own nose.

I buy Kobashi Oils for my practice because I trust Kobashi to rigorously test each batch of oil delivered and to reject anything which is not up to standard. I know Scott does this I've seen the printouts, I've discussed the process with him on several occasions and 1 believe him.

I've discussed the shortcomings of MS testing with Scott. 1 know Scott doesn't just rely on Mass Spectrum Analysis. Kobashi uses a range of tests on all their oils Phthalate analysis, Headspace Analysis - Kobashi does it all.

When I sell oils on to my clients - every bottle of oil sold makes a statement about me and my practice. I care about my clients and only want to do business with a supplier who cares too.

Kobashi cares. So when I buy Kobashi, 1 buy not only a properly packaged product with correct labelling and detailed instructions for use. I buy quality. "

Hi. I love the oils. They arrived in once piece and quickly! I am using them all over my house in my cleaning and my house is filled with wonderful fragrances! I will be ordering more!

Dear Jayme

I am so happy you love Kobashi Essential Oils, would you mind if I use the above as a testimonial on the web?

Not a problem! I'd feel honoured. Thanks for the help.

Greetings... I discovered your company while living in England, but a year ago, I returned to the states, cherishing my collection of Kobashi oils. I am happy to find you available online, but I am left to ponder about online ordering. Am I only able to purchase essential oils through your web site? I intend to do this, but I am also curious to know if accessories are available for online ordering? I was having some trouble navigating myself to this option on the website. Please help :) Thanks so much! -jayme

Wish to thank you for my order/goods received today, your oils are truly excellent.

Thanks for the oils, I use quite a lot as I believe in their properties.

michael.cutler

Thank you for asking!,

I was very impressed with the selection and quick delivery. My Oils are doing just fine, I have made several blends with great results. I have recommended your website to several people due to the great service and quality of product I received.

Thank You again

I have not been able to try all of them yet, but what I have used so far is wonderful! I have used almost all of the lavendar oil and am working the eucalyptus oil over rather quickly, so I suppose I will have to reorder at some point! I found a "recipe" in a magazine for the dusting mixture as well as some others, so I am anxious to try them. Thanks for checking!

Dear Kobashi,

I received my oils here in Hawaii in 7 days , thanks and they are wonderful, especially the rose...mmmmmmm.....thanks again, and talk to you soon,

Kristin Shaw

Dear Kristin

It's very satisfying to see you like the oils and received them so quickly. We received your order on the 24th of May. We sent it to you on the 25th. Considering Saturday the 27th, 28th and 29th were a bank Holiday weekend here in England: you received your oils on the Tuesday the 30th; this is an excellent 4 working days from the time we sent the order.

Best regards,

You may be surprised to receive this mail but we have recently returned from Kenya where we met Daphne Sheldrick at the end of a dream trip. (We spent the last morning cuddling a 14 day old baby rhino and petted a 6 week old new elephant orphan at the Nursery, and the highlight for me was when one of the older orphans, now at the Station near Voi, proffered to me her trunk. I blew gently into it; she came back for more;she pressed her trunk close and then blew back! I've often wondered what it would be like as it is so special...... and it I can still remember her warm, moist breath smelling of sweet hay.)

Mrs.Sheldrick was so grateful for the donations - we had taken over a litre of Tea Tree Oil and 27 tubes of Arnica cream.The new baby had been born on a tarmac road and it is believed her Mother must have been frightened by the traffic because it is very unusual for one to leave its young. His name is Magic and, when he was brought in, he couldn't walk,was blind and he had cuts and abrasions to his face.(Obviously a case for the preparations we took!) 14 days later his sight is coming back, his cuts are healing and he is walking..... as if he's had a few too many! It's a long haul ahead of him but, hopefully, one day he'll be strong enough to return to the wild. At least he has a chance.

So..... from him, the other babies, Daphne Sheldrick and me our very grateful thanks.
