Claire Anderson — Fragrance Oils Editor

Fragrance Oils Editor

Claire Anderson writes the fragrance-oil coverage at Aroma Paradise — what fragrance oils are made of, how they differ from essential oils, what is safe and what is not, and how to choose between roll-on body oils and spray perfume.

Claire spent nine years on the formulation side of the candle and soap industry, sourcing fragrance oils from suppliers around the world and testing batches in candles, melts, room sprays, body products, and bath bombs. That hands-on background informs how she writes here: she has wicked the test candles, sniffed the failures, and rejected the synthetics that smelled chemical at flame point.

Her core articles for Aroma Paradise — fragrance oil vs essential oil, peppermint oil vs essential oil, how fragrance oils are made, are fragrance oils safe for pets, the fragrance-oil safety guide — are the most-linked-to references in the catalogue.
