🏡 Home Sweet Home
New Home Anxiety Blend for Pets

A comforting and grounding blend specifically created for families adopting a new pet to help ease their companion's anxiety during the transition to an entirely new environment. Formulated to promote deep relaxation and a true sense of security, it supports your newly adopted pet as they safely decompress, reducing stress and helping establish a peaceful atmosphere in their forever home.

Perfect for helping your new pet navigate:
• The "First Night" Jitters: Constant pacing, whining, or an inability to settle down in a new crate, bed, or room.
• The Shelter Shutdown: When a newly adopted cat or dog hides under furniture, freezes, or shuts down due to intense sensory overload.
• The 3-3-3 Decompression Rule: Supporting their nervous system through the critical first 3 days of feeling overwhelmed, 3 weeks of settling into a routine, and 3 months of building real trust.

Home Sweet Home combines gentle essential oils carefully chosen to naturally soothe and reassure your pet:
• Tangerine: A bright, gentle citrus that brings a sense of warmth and quiet joy. It helps clear away environmental stress and nervous tension, making a strange new room feel instantly more uplifting and inviting.
• Spearmint: A soft, refreshing oil that acts as a gentle breath of fresh air for an overwhelmed pet. It helps soothe an upset tummy caused by travel anxiety and clears mental fatigue without overpowering their sensitive noses.
• Valerian: A deeply grounding powerhouse for extreme stress. Valerian works rapidly to calm an overactive nervous system, helping a pacing, fearful, or shelter-shocked pet finally down-regulate, relax their muscles, and drift into a peaceful rest.
• Vetiver: Known as the "Oil of Tranquility," this rich, earthy oil provides a profound sense of stability. It wraps your pet in a reassuring blanket of security, stopping panic in its tracks and helping them feel anchored and safe in their new surroundings.

Available in: 10mL Roller, 15mL Diffuser Blend, along with 2oz and 4oz Spray.

✨ Want to stock up? We will be at PetAPalooza this Saturday, June 20th, from 10am–3pm at Curtis Lumber in Ballston Spa.

Bring your new furry family member by our booth to experience a live scent-selection session and let them choose their own path to calm!

🕷️Ticked Off
Tick Deterrent Spray for People

A grounding outdoor blend created to keep you TICKED OFF in the best way, helping deter ticks while you enjoy nature with comfort and confidence. It supports ease, presence, and peace of mind during time outdoors.

Ticked Off combines essential oils known to naturally deter ticks:
•Citronella: The classic outdoor go-to. It works like an invisibility cloak by masking the human scents—like sweat and breath—that ticks track to find you.
•Lemongrass: This oil has a bright, sharp citrus punch that bugs absolutely hate. It forms a strong aromatic wall that keeps crawling pests from wanting to get close.
•Thyme: A true powerhouse for the woods. It has a super strong herbal scent that is highly effective at keeping deer ticks away from your legs and gear.
•Cedarwood: Ticks naturally hate the smell of cedar trees and will actively avoid crawling up anything that smells like it. Bonus: it adds a lovely, grounding campfire vibe to the blend.
•Lemon Eucalyptus: One of the most famous plant-based ingredients for deep-woods protection. It gives you heavy-duty, long-lasting peace of mind without any harsh chemicals.
•Geranium: A secret weapon for your clothes and shoes. Ticks find the scent of geranium highly unappealing, making them much less likely to try and hitch a ride on you.
•Peppermint: Provides a sharp, icy-cool burst that bugs detest. Since ticks usually start low on your shoes or socks, peppermint acts as a great first line of defense to turn them right back around.
•Sesame Seed: The secret to making it last. Essential oils normally evaporate into the air pretty quickly, but this natural oil acts as an anchor, holding the tick-deterrent scents to your skin and clothes so they work much longer.

Mist onto skin, clothes, and shoes before outdoor activities. Best results when reapplied every couple of hours. Enjoy the journey with ease and tranquility.

Available in: 2oz and 4oz Spray.

🌈 Rainbow Bridge
Pet Loss Comfort Blend

There is a heavy quiet that settles into a home when a pet passes away. When their absence feels unbearable, yet the love they gave has shaped every part of who you became, this blend offers a gentle presence for those still moments when memory lingers where they once made life vibrant.

Rainbow Bridge combines grounding anchors with uplifting light:
•Grounding & Comfort: Frankincense, Patchouli, Tonka Bean, and Vanilla provide a steady, warm base when everything feels uprooted.
•Heart Softness: Geranium and Palmarosa help soothe emotional fatigue and exhaustion.
•Uplifting Light: A vibrant chorus of citrus including Bergamot, Wild Orange, Litsea, Lemon, Lime, Grapefruit, and Red & Green Mandarin, gently brings warmth back into quiet spaces.

It honors a love that does not end; it only changes form, carried always in the heart where they still remain. For the bond that taught you to grow, to try, and to become more than what you were before they found you.

Available in: 10mL Roller, 15mL Diffuser Blend, 2oz and 4oz Spray.

🐾 Fable 🐾

It has taken us some time to share this… a month ago, our beloved Fable passed. 💚

Fable was far more than a pet. He was our sniff tester, our inspiration, our teacher, and the heart of Essentially Scents and Pets. Every blend, every product, every choice was shaped by him. Many of you knew and loved him. His presence was gentle, his spirit radiant, and his love boundless.

Fable’s journey is the reason our business exists. When he faced challenges with anxiety and well-being, we searched for natural, holistic ways to support him. That path led us to aromatherapy and ultimately to the creation of Essentially Scents and Pets LLC. Watching him transform through the power of essential oils, discovering calm, confidence, and joy, was extraordinary. It became our mission to bring that same comfort, balance, and love to other pets and their families, just as Fable had taught us.

Even in his rare and unexpected battle with Cushing’s disease, something few experience at such a young age, Fable remained brave, gentle, and full of love. Every wag, every nuzzle, every curious sniff reminded us of what truly matters: presence, gratitude, and the quiet magic of everyday moments.

Fable was sent to teach us lessons we too often forget
✨ Never take a single moment for granted
✨ When your pet wants to play after a long day, go play
✨ Take the walk, offer the cuddle, and be fully present, for these moments are life’s most precious treasures

Through every essential oil blend he helped create, Fable touched countless hearts, bringing comfort, healing, and love to so many pets and families. His guidance and spirit are woven into everything we do and will remain at the heart of Essentially Scents and Pets forever.

We will continue Fable’s legacy. He would want us to move forward, to help more animals, share more love, and honor the lessons he gave so freely. His courage, his joy, and his unwavering love will guide our work always.

Forever our muse.
Forever our teacher.
Forever our boy. 🐾💫

While gathering Yarrow and Queen Anne’s Lace, I noticed this little bumblebee visiting the yellow toadflax.

Bees are more than just pollinators — they’ve long been seen as symbols of transformation, purpose, and the quiet magic of hard work.

Moments like this feel like a reminder: growth takes time, but it’s happening. Keep going. 🐝🌾
