Geoff Lyth
Geoff Lyth (Fellow of the English Société l'Institut Pierre Franchomme, MPRS) is the Managing Director of Quinessence Aromatherapy and has led the company from its inception. He has held a fascination for the healing properties of essential oils since first being introduced to them almost 25 years ago.
This attraction soon led to the formation of Quinessence along with Sue Charles, and over the past 20 years he has been actively researching the bioactivity and application of essential oils for use in aromatherapy and natural skin and hair care products. The allure of essential oils also led to his interest in natural perfumery, of which he has been an exponent for many years.
Geoff is responsible for quality control and sourcing raw materials, spending considerable time throughout the year locating new organic producers of essential and vegetable oils, both here in the United Kingdom and overseas. Over the years he has built up trusted relationships with many growers and co-operatives around the world who use traditional farming methods to produce their crops.
In his capacity as the Chairman of the Aromatherapy Trade Council (A.T.C.) Geoff is known to work tirelessly to raise standards of safety and quality in essential oils for use in the specialist field of aromatherapy. He was elected as Chairman of the A.T.C. when it was formed in 1993 and has remained incumbent up to the present time.
Together with Sue Charles, Geoff regularly lectures at a variety of venues both in this country and internationally to healthcare professionals on the subjects of aromatherapy and essential oils.
Their joint publication "Aromatherapy Lexicon - the Essential Reference" has been a huge success, receiving critical acclaim from aromatherapy professional's, training schools and home enthusiasts alike. Geoff also writes articles about essential oils for leading trade magazines such as Today's Therapist.

A trace constituent of grapefruit oil called thioterpineol is the most powerful odorous substance known.
If 10 grams of thiopertineol were evenly distributed throughout the atmosphere, the fragrance would overpower the entire population of the planet!
