What is Cognac Essential Oil?

Cognac Essential Oil has been used for years as an ingredient in luxury perfumes. The tart, earthy aroma of the oil brings out light, sweet scents beautifully, so you can create your own 'high end' perfume.

The essential oil of Cognac (Vitis Vinifera) is steam distilled from the lees, or sediment that remains when making wine. The oil is therefore a by-product of wine production and is also called 'wine yeast oil'.
