This is an essential oil store in a league on its own. Yes, the customer service is a bit awkward and stilted, but I kind of don't care--I would prefer to be left alone in silence while I spend half an hour, in a trance, sniffing everything. As long as they let me do that (and very much they encouraged it), I'm happy. I walked in thinking this was going to be something like Saje, which weirdly doesn't exist in NYC, but naw man. The fact that they distill their own frankincense and have a couple variations of rose, thyme, fir, etc. means they mean serious fucking business. I am impressed that they carry blue lotus, blue tansy, and tons of other oils that I've never even heard of before until I came here. I asked about their blends, which they carry a limited selection compared to their pure oils. At first I was a bit disappointed that there weren't more, but honestly? When you smell the pure oils, they are of such high quality that they don't really need to be blended. They are so complex and rich, they can easily be diffused on their own. It's very expensive. Eyewateringly so. But I'm happy to splurge on what seems to be the best of what exists (that is, that's available to consumers like me, not necessarily top-tier perfumers). read more

Great place with interesting and unique products. Store is small but lots to offer. Staff are nice and leave you alone to browse and play with testers. Love my 2 oils I purchase. read more

I saw a TikTok video recently about an antique perfumery tradition called enfleurage, where a woman captured the scent of freshly picked honey suckle with just a glass tray and some coconut oil. Imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon the real deal -- Enfleurage NYC -- only days later. The gentleman who helped me was so nice and informative. I could've stayed in the shop for hours -- and spent every last dollar. I purchased a roll on amber scent that smells like sand dunes, and camp fires, wild honey and tree sap. It's gorgeous and one of the nicest fragrances I own. I love expensive and niche perfumes -- but now I'm not sure I could go back to Frederic Malle or Serge Lutens with the same expectations. There's something far more immersive and seductive about the fragrances at Enfleurage. It's almost like you become the tuberose when you put on the oil, instead of it becoming this sort of surface level costume you wear around for a day. Plus, even better, the fragrances and oils are so reasonably priced, too. I'm just sad I only found out about this shop now -- after living in the city for 15 years. Tomorrow, I'm going back for the white flower roll on -- as well as a few gifts for friends. After a really difficult two years, it seems only appropriate to dress myself in the scent of new beginnings and fresh blooms. read more

Best essential oils ever The store has the most extensive essential oils in the city of New York. The staff are so knowledgeable. . The owner is an institution on her own, distilling her own frankincense in Oman. read more

Essential oils of the highest quality. The staff is knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. I took a class here and got a lot out of it. The class was only $10! And price of class was deducted from purchases. I purchased some of the best soft sandalwood oil ! Awesome small shop read more

See all

I order online but look forward to visiting the store someday. Their frankincense products are incomparable. The candles are packaged in a copper colored metal tin with a well fitting cover. They don't even have to be lit to fragrance a small area, but when it is the fragrance will fill the room with a warm, invigorating scent. The fragrance oils are high quality and well packaged. The hydrosols are high quality. read more

We happened to find this shop as my friend was searching for perfume ingredients. As someone who delves into his research (historical and otherwise), he could not have been more delighted. The shopkeeper was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and we were there for well over an hour discussing various components and techniques. Definitely worth a trip! read more

Yay, a new place for me to buy more things I don't need, like Sandalwood. Happy this place is still in business as it was my first time visiting a few weeks ago. The man who was there was really friendly and helpful. I like the selection of oils and sprays and think the quality is great. I purchased some Sandalwood spray and have been layering it with another custom oil and have been getting so many compliments from men (ooh, it's working). The prices are okay, less than my custom oil place, so I'll be back! read more

I initially found Enfleurage at a booth in Soho. But our best nostalgia are from its time on Bleeker Street. A time when those cute carved inlay soaps were all the rage and so were the scrubs and wide range of rare oils. I get it--the owners eliminated all indy products from their store--and I understand. But we're still mourning the death of some of their treasured stock and feeling like a lost child ever since. Like the pricey but oh so very worth it salt scrub that contained a "kitchen sink" range of essential oils and aromatics. Pure godliness in a glass jar with a flip lid that regretfully succumbed to my slippery butterfingers and smashed on my bathroom floor on at least 3 different occasions with me literally crying over it and scooping it back up like a psychopath pouring over precious diamonds... Immediately returning to Enfleurage to buy more. Yes, we spoke. Yes, it was a pain in the ass to make. But it's worth hundreds of dollars per jar and devotees will pay for it. Anyhow, we miss some of these older concoctions, but even more we miss you. Hope to visit again soon. read more

By far the best quality oils I have ever experienced. I am a licensed massage therapist and only use their oils in my practice.

Very disappointed!! One gentleman was extremely pretentious and very rude. He was terribly offended by my questions - and not very helpful at all!! I wanted to learn more about "essential oils", which seemed to bother him. Not good for business. I was there to buy something, not to peruse and waste his time!! The other gentleman (long hair) was great!! He made my buying experience worth it. However, not the only shop in town. I'll take my business elsewhere, thanks!! read more

A dear friend/neighbor came to my rescue with a bottle of aloe from here when I burned my hand cooking one night. It worked wonders. We'd made our way through it and I'd planned to order online... given the impeccable quality of their products, I chose to source some essential oil blends to diffuse during a meditation / yoga retreat I'm hosting & to treat myself to a roll on of some rose oil. So chose to make my way into the store and am so glad I did. Tom was so helpful and It was wonderful to be able to breathe in / test different options. The quality, truly impeccable. The scents, divine & my son & I were so warmly welcomed. Will definitely be back... again & again. read more

The store changed locations a bit over the years. The space is a whole lot smaller. Does it change anything? Nope! Still one of the finest olfactory muses in New York, if not the tri-state. Their body oils are consistently fantastic. Their essential oils are so effective that you only need a few drops, in a timed ceramic diffuser, to change the ambiance in a space. I love walking into the store, greeting the salesperson, and saying, "Hey friend I am here for the Sex!" Sex is one of their house oils, consisting of ylang ylang, patchouli, and lime. We both laugh hard. It never gets old. As far as frankincense, the owner grows her own, in Oman, and pulls the resin by hand, every few months. If that is not standing behind your product. Don't you deserve that grade of focus, determination, and passion on you and/or all about you? read more

Spring evokes many things that come to mind: renewal, sunshine, a new fragrance. I never really got into fragrances until two years ago when Vera Wang came out with Bouquet and I liked the floral scent that lingered for hours. After that year, Dior came out with Miss Cherie, a reintroduction of the Miss Dior fragrance to cater to a wider clientele. Anyway, this past week, I spent some time in dept. stores sniffing out new fragrances and read about quite a few that would have fit my personality. Unfortunately, some of the fragrances that I listed smelled generic and reminded me a lot of the fragrances I already had or it was fragrances that would probably suit my mother. I read up on Enfleurage through Yelp and their own website and was intrigued by the store. When I first came in, I was greeted warmly by the sales associate and was left alone to discover all the wonderful scenets before me. They have a wide range of essential oils from all over the world, from places like Morocco, Ivory Coast, and Vietnam. What surprised me the most was the way I was attracted to the smell of Cypress to the feminine smell Rose Attar (which is a mixture of rose and sandalwood). Those were two polar opposites. The sales associate spent a lot of time with me explaining the essential oils especially the categories that I would be attracted to. There was bergamot, a crisp, citrusy smell that tends to be a fan favorite, along with the more sensual smells of roses from Morocco, England, and India. I spent two hours poring over each smell and it annoyed me that my senses were so fickle but she said it's understandable as I'm new to the whole experience and it would take some time for me to understand. She also recommended some classes which would allow me to learn more about essential oils and it's therapeutic power along with being able to mix variety of scents together which sounded really cool. After switching off between the essential oils and constantly sniffing the cup of coffee beans to reinvigorate my sense of smell, I bought the rose attar. The prices depend on the availability of the oil based on season and it was about $20 for a 2mL bottle. Yes, it was expensive, but that scent just transports you to a dreamy stupor. read more

Yay! Yelpers! I like to smell goooood! I recommend Enfleurage if you are looking for an amazing selection of organic oils. The owner does not dilute the oil with water and smell last a decent length of time. Only knock on this place is that it is kinda pricey but we have to splurge one in a while. My choice is the: house blend sanctuary: ying yang, pachouli, camomile Relaxes me before a stressful day or night in the ER. read more

this store is unique and their product is no frills and outstanding. Over the last few months I've bought a few essential oils and sprays and im really happy with the quality. the staff leaves something to be desired - they always seem aloof and short of really knowing about what they are selling beyond "yeah I really like that" But you don't go for the customer service, you go for the delish oils read more

I love there product it smells so wonder the lady's in the front were so informative if I needed help they didn't hesitate it's pricey but for me it's worth it .I see that there's some negative opinions on Yelp from some other people maybe it's just the individual that were horrible but in my opinion I enjoyed this place and this my second time going read more

Sure, I can't smell, but that doesn't mean I don't think aromatherapy won't work for me. Just because my brain can't interpret scents doesn't mean I miss all the calming effects. Thus I found myself at Enfleurage. That and I seriously needed some sandalwood EO for a new ritual oil I'm working on. Selection: Like all the reviews before me, I will say yet again that Enfleurage is an amazing store (with apparently a great smell that was lost on me) with quite a sizable selection. I went in knowing I need a few things (hemlock, sandalwood, frankincense, etc), and I found them easily enough. The essential oils are all lined up in alphabetical order. Most ar available in 5 and 10 ml sizes, although some of the more valuable are bottled into teeny tiny 2 ml vials. With everything from expensive agarwood to a yuzu peel EO (which I really wanted but was out of my price range that day), Enfleurage also has soaps, candles and a decent variety of aroma and scent books. They even had supplies for bottling and blending, as well as giant tubs of resin incense (and I think I saw some powder and cones as well). Venue: The owner, I assume, was ridiculously helpful. He allowed me to (attempt) to smell nearly all of the offerings, and made suggestions on what would be best for me. I ended up getting my hemlock, and a tangerine which I could actually smell! Both in 10 ml bottles, they set me back about $25 with tax, but he gave me a sample of tuberose shea butter (which, naturally I couldn't smell, but the boy says is very powerful). I think the prices are a bit high in some places, where accurate in others. There are definitely places online where you can buy EOs for less, so one less star for that, but count this as a 4.5 really. Why? Because the store is adorable, the staff is helpful, and it has a great selection. I recommend it for anyone who wants to avoid Enchantments' small dram sizes. read more

Of course there is the great selection of Essential Oils.. my favorite being the unsurpassed best quality Frankincense but .. Last minute scooping up of Benzoin, Myrrh, and Frankincense resin in NYC which is unheard of locally, I adore this place. I have bypassed local shopping for EO in the recent years for online shopping but really this store is a true NYC gem! And they have also have dried herbs and rose petals in apothecary jars.. The staff is soooo very gentle and helpful. My real discovery is the amazing egg shaped EO on the go keychains which I plan to gift for the holidays. It feels great to reconnect.. read more

Enfleurage has an incredible variety of beautiful, quality oils. However, the customer service is awful (you will likely be ignored/not be helped at all) and the price is very high. If essential oils are your thing, and you need top quality - this is your place. However expect to pay in the hundreds for quantities TSA would still let you keep in your carry on. read more

They have relocated. Same great products and lots of rare essential oils, attars and hydrosols. Trygve - we love you! read more

First time visit. Needed some advice. Salesperson could be be bothered and was rude.

I really wanted to love this place. The space is beautiful. The customer service was cold. The gentleman seemed stuck up, so much so that I almost didn't want to support this business and get my raw materials at my usual place which is always warm and inviting. read more

Very nice staff and make you feel great. They were not invasive and very helpful. Have a very broad selection of essential oils and the quality is very good. The some the pricing may appear a bit higher than some other stores, (but this is NYC and overhead property rental is insane) however the QUALITY makes it worth the price!!! I recommend the Cocoa!!!! It is delicious!!! Easy to get to as well! read more

We went to buy some essential oils. I use certain essential oils every night in order to help my breathing in dry air in winter. Very comfortable shop with nice owner (s). I will definitely come back but I can also buy bulk essential oil from Amazon which is much cheaper so I took one star off. read more

As a licensed massage therapist in NYC with 15 years of experience and a private practice, Enfleurage is pretty much the only place I buy my essential oils. I've tried just about every brand of essential oil--Young Living, DoTerra, etc, and Enfleurage wins. The oils are super pure and fairly reasonably priced considering the high quality (good essential oils are never cheap). My clients love them too, and a handful have actually gone to the shop in the West Village (which is super cute) and bought oils there for themselves. The staff are excellent and totally know their stuff--I recently called with a slew of questions about the oils I was considering ordering, and Joey was insanely helpful and patient with me (thanks Joey!). If you're a practitioner or just a lover of essential oils, check this place out--it's really the best there is. read more

* best of the best * Support them as this is your only TRUE source of 100% quality raw materials in NYC read more

Situation: Needed some sandalwood powder for a facial mask [spa day at home anyone :D ] and couldn't find any at my local Whole Foods, which had been my first guess at who would have it. After doing a little internet digging, I found that one of the few places in the city to get sandalwood powder was Enfleurage. PROS -Helpful staff: I called beforehand to ensure they had what I was looking for and spoke to a Japanese gentleman (I forget his name, sorry!!), who confirmed that he had it and gave me the price. When I finally came into the store nearly a week later, he remembered me as the one who had called, impressive! The owner was also there, and I overheard him giving some other customers a detailed spiel about the origins and uses of the products they were interested in. -Neat & Organised: When you walk in, it is obvious that the store has a lot of love and care put into it. It is spotless, and everything is uber organised. -Good price: Now I can't say much about the stuff they sell besides the sandalwood powder that I bought, but it only cost me $8 for an ample amount, which I find very reasonable, since a business with not-so-honorable intentions and the knowledge that they are one of the very few providers of essential oils in the city might be tempted to really jack up the price. CONS -Nada. In a nutshell... Hassle free, positive experience. Couldn't be happier. Go here for all your very specific essential oil and powder needs if you'd rather know exactly what you're getting rather than taking the risk of ordering online. read more

I almost passed up this tiny shop. The store was neat and clean with a variety of oils, essential oils, clays, candles and custom blends. Michelle is awesome! She gave proper descriptions of the oils and wasn't too pushy. She suggested which ones I should purchase given my skin type and season change (fall/winter), whilst staying in budget. I regard customer service highly, so I would definitely go back! read more

I left this review some time ago but the yelp staff asked me to modify it, Well my experience in this tiny store was not pleasant; the staff was rude and not very helpful. I was informed that their oils were not therapeutic grade (it might have been a disgruntled employee, I don't know but he revealed this to me) that their oils were not therapeutic grade and in addition to that, they are SUPER diluted with carrier oils. If your goal is to use them as body perfume or to deodorize your home at a ridiculous price then buy away. One more tip- you can get better quality from the African guys in the street at a better price and for more quantity. read more

Excellent quality and selection. The hydrosols are fabulous, especially Frankincense, which often sells out, and then there's a delay in getting it from Oman. But the store will kindly take your number and call you when it comes in. Really. Occasionally pricey but very good quality products. I also buy carrier oils and empty amber bottles for my own blends here. Resin incense and aromatherapy books are also on offer. I've taken some blending classes here, and the staff are super nice, helpful, and very knowledgeable about their trade/craft. A store like this is an increasing rarity in our new New York, so support it instead of buying lesser quality oils at Whole Foods or god forbid, a chain drug store. read more

This place is amazing. Got tip from a set designer I was working with this week. I walked in the owner greeted me. It's a very minimal space. And he's incredibly knowledgeable and willing to share knowledge. This store is a must... Wow. Just wow! read more

Great place for oils and candles. The employee was so helpful and had a lot of knowledge about the products. It's a great place for little gifts. I had to buy a a couple glycerin bars of "lime" themed soap for so-workers of mine. The gift wrapping was free too. If you don't want to purchase anything, stop in for the scent of the place at least! read more

This store is adorable and reminds me why I love NY so much. Went here in search of a candle and although they only had 3 options (lavender, frankincense, and mandarin) I actually loved how they all smelled and had a tremendously hard time choosing one. I ultimately chose the frankincense and am so happy I did. It's such a warm and inviting scent like none I have ever smelled before. And the frankincense they use in the candle is actually directly from Oman which I thought was way cool! Also one of the owners, a kindly somewhat older man was one of the most lovably oddball men I have ever met. Just warm, lovable, quirky and ready for my adoption :). I will definitely come back! ***NOTE YELPERS THEY ARE MOVING TO 257 w 13th Street and are CLOSED STARTING TOMORROW AND WILL REOPEN AT THEIR NEW LOCATION DEC 2nd!!***** Please support them when they reopen! Small businesses like these are what make NY so freaking grand! read more

Love this place! Great little aromatherapy shop. They have essential oils, candles, face wash spray, diffusers (i think that's what they're called), you name it. I'm a big fan of their candles - I had a frankincense one that was wonderful, really soothing. I just bought a geranium candle. It's a bit more intense, but soothing as well. I found the service to be really pleasant, and the salesperson there to be courteous and knowledgeable. I'll definitely be heading back. read more

Not exactly what I was hoping for but a beautiful shop just the same. I have an oil that is a mix of scents that I am trying to match (I don't know what went into it in the first place) and when I brought it in the employee took a sniff and told me flat out I wouldn't be finding what I was looking for there. I appreciate the straightforwardness but a little more help would have been nice. I have a feeling that although what I had was a very pure scented oil, it wasn't quite "essential" enough to be found in what they focus on. Still, a great looking and smelling shop that is fun to drop in on. read more

Always make a visit when I'm back in the city. Super hi grade Eos. I always leave the shop, happy and high on plant spirit. It's great. If you're used to grocery store Eos or young living/doteera, put them down, go here, and learn and buy the real stuff! I highly recommend this shop! read more

What a cute little aromatherapy boutique this place is! It is small but they have a nice selection of essential oils, jars of resins and gums, bottles of hydrosols, and a few other things like soaps and diffusers. Good prices, nice variety of oils. I liked the aromatherapy bar - the table with stools to sit at and explore the shelves of tester bottles. read more

The franckincense resin is great. I wish the store had a greater selection of misc related items, though. Pretty minimal offerings.

Very nice, high quality essential oils. I spent a happy hour sniffing everything before making my purchase, and the employee was patient, friendly, and helpful. read more
