Our Story
Our Story
Yakov’s passion for aromatherapy began unexpectedly when he experienced the uplifting power of grapefruit essential oil while sitting in his brother’s Aromatherapy Steam Tube—a one-person sauna. That single moment sparked a deep interest in the healing potential of essential oils.
Not long after, while helping his brother at a Mind, Body & Spirit Festival, Yakov met Ron Guba, founder of Essential Therapeutics—a respected leader in the natural therapies field. Inspired by Ron and the world of plant-based healing, Yakov made a life-changing decision: he left his job in robotics and automation to study and work alongside Ron for two transformative years.
Fueled by his new calling, Yakov set off on a journey up north in a Coaster Bus with his partner. When they arrived in Cardwell, his partner was badly bitten by sandflies. Seeing her in distress, Yakov was moved to create a soothing cream from natural ingredients—his first handcrafted remedy.
That formula became Tropical Relief Soothing Cream, now a beloved staple in his product range. Yakov truly believes this creation was divinely inspired, and it marked the beginning of his journey to develop his own line of natural personal care products.
Today, Yakov handcrafts each product with care and intention, using high-quality, sustainable, and ethically sourced ingredients. He also offers a wide selection of essential oils, bottled and labeled in accessible, affordable quantities.
By making everything in small batches, Yakov ensures the integrity and potency of each ingredient—bringing you the pure gifts of nature in every product.
We hope you enjoy using Natural Scents as much as Yakov enjoys creating them.
With love and light,
Deb & Yakov

Natural Scents Pure Essential Oils
Natural Scents Essential Oils – 100% Pure and Natural
At Natural Scents, our essential oils are 100% pure, natural, and true to the plant from which they are derived. We pride ourselves on offering genuine, unadulterated oils that capture the full aromatic and therapeutic profile of each botanical source.
We source our essential oils exclusively from reputable, ethical, and sustainable Australian suppliers. Each oil is grown, harvested, distilled, and packaged in accordance with internationally recognised standards to preserve the unique essence and potency of the plant.
To ensure accessibility for everyone, some of our essential oils are diluted to 3% in Jojoba Oil, making them ready for direct application.
Care Guidelines

Notes on Dilution
Essential oils are extremely concentrated and should be used with care. In most cases, applying undiluted essential oils directly to the skin is not recommended, as it can cause irritation or allergic reactions.
Because each oil and each individual is different, there is no universal rule for dilution. Please take the time to research and test carefully. Even when diluted in a carrier oil or cream, it's best to perform a patch test before first-time use.
