Imagine Walking Into a French Pharmacy.
You discover essential oils so exquisite, so different from anything you’ve experienced, you can hardly believe they’re from the same plants.
The fragrance. The purity. The extraordinary complexity of each oil.
Welcome to Melissa’s Botanicals.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
2,000 Pounds of Lavender.
Just 4 Liters of Essential Oil.
That’s approximately what it takes to produce four liters of essential oil from our French cooperative’s freshly harvested Lavandula angustifolia.
So when you see four ounces of certified organic lavender essential oil selling for $20, it’s reasonable to ask about its origin, species, and production.
We welcome those questions.
Complete Transparency.
We tell you where our plants are grown, the town or region they come from, who distills them, their chemical composition, and how to use them.
For nearly 30 years, founder Melissa Farris has been part of an organic farming and distilling cooperative in the Drôme, France, building lifelong friendships and sourcing relationships spanning more than 30 countries.
From the plant to the bottle, we share what we know.
The French Pharmacy Tradition.
Essential oils contain naturally occurring chemical constituents studied for their antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic activities.
French Medical Aromatherapy brings together botanical identification, chemistry, careful formulation, and an understanding of how essential oils are used.
In 1996, Melissa founded Simplers Botanical Company, introducing her first 100% organic essential oil line to America. Her second company, Veriditas Botanicals, grew to more than 2,000 retail locations.
Today, Melissa’s Botanicals.
Melissa’s Botanicals brings nearly 30 years of experience to exclusive, small-batch essential oils and formulations, available directly to the public.
Our mission is to make French Medical Aromatherapy accessible, with easy-to-read guides that help you understand essential oils and confidently use them at home.
This website is filled with essential oil monographs, plant chemistry, and practical instructions.

Melissa wrote her first Aromatherapy Guide in 1996 and hopes to publish the third edition this year.
Our only retail partner in America is Rosemary’s Garden in Sebastopol, California—the very first apothecary Melissa ever sold to. What began as a business relationship grew into a lifelong friendship, sharing a commitment to healing ourselves and the planet, one drop at a time.
