Building on over 40 years of experience, Essenza Pura presents a truly indulgent range of essential oils and aromatherapy products. Essenza Pura is a labour of love for creative director and owner, Rina Altobelli, whose commitment to quality and intuitive connection with the olfactory sense is captured in every product.
Essenza Pura was developed with the aim of bringing premium therapeutic grade aromatherapy products to the broader public and demonstrating the powerful restorative properties of natural plant extracts through exquisite creations.
Central to the Essenza Pura line is an extensive range of pure essential oils, from 'essentials' like Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, Tea Tree and Eucalyptus to rare oils like Artemisia Afra, Benzoin, Cardamon, Labdanum and Oakmoss.
More importantly, users will be delighted at the superior quality of Essenza Pura essential oils that results from an intensive selection process built on decades of experience working with suppliers worldwide. The quest for the ideal essential oil extends far beyond obtaining ‘100% pure essential oils’ – an unfortunately misleading term which can include low-grade oils more suitable for industrial use than the delicate art of aromatherapy. Essenza Pura specialises in first grade high potency oils, looking to factors including the time and process of distillation/expression/extraction. And as the word suggests, aromatherapy centres on fragrance, and this is personally judged by Rina herself; Essenza Pura essential oils are chosen for their clean, fresh and alive aromas. All of this ensures that the essential oils finally privileged as part of the Essenza Pura range are the purest and finest available.
Such confidence in our range is supported by the fact that Essenza Pura derives much of its interest by word of mouth. Users recognise the true quality of our oils by comparing individual oils with those of other well-known and respected brands – a practice we readily and confidently invite. But, we must all make these discoveries for ourselves. We’ll let your nose be the judge.
The Essenza Pura range also includes essential oil diffuser blends, bath and massage oils and skin care, where Rina's skills in developing the perfect balance between oils comes to the fore. When this balance between elements is right, as only those with the proper experience and instincts can know, the whole can be indeed greater than the sum of its parts. Essenza Pura is also available to help your spa, business or distribution to create your signature product eg. massage oil, essential oil diffuser blend, natural perfumes, body facial or room mist spray, face treatment oils or any body or face product and other wellbeing and apothecary sundries.
About Rina Altobelli
Rina Altobelli began her scentual tale in far away London, 1983. She travelled there from Melbourne in order to pursue her love of aromatherapy under the tutelage of world-renowned Madame Micheline Arcier.
Immediately on her return she established one of the first aromatherapy outlets in the Melbourne suburb of Camberwell where she supplied quality essential oils and employed a team of practitioners to provide aromatherapy treatments to clients. Nine years were spent at this practice, and as time passed Rina found the need to get more involved in the wholesale side of supply.
Eventually after selling the practice she re-established her aromatherapy supply base in bustling South Melbourne, it was there that she was able to concentrate on extending her range by creating a multitude of new aromatherapy products where she was able to express her creativity to the fullest and was also able to manufacture and consult to other businesses to help create their own special products. She continues to focus on the creative side of aromatherapy, from her current base in the Yarra Valley region.
