Essential oils are pure, unless it is stated on the package that it includes a carrier oil. You need to follow the directions on the packet as they may or may not be suitable for direct skin use.
Who knows what is actually in those fragrance oils? They are certainly artificial, and don’t have any of the theraputic benefits of essential oils. So they are a waste of money unless you just want a fake flowery smell in your house.
Basically, you get what you pay for. If you think about the amount of rose petals required to get even the tiniest drip of essential oil, you are going to understand that a vial retailed at $2.50 is not going to be the real thing. I recommend you buy from a pharmacist or specialist shop.

Fragance Oils tend to be artificle where essential oils are obtain from the real plants.

You need to be very careful before using essential oils directly on the skin. Some will be ok, but most you would probably need to mix with a carrier oil or add just a few drops to the bath so as to dilute them, or use in a burner. You should check the label. If there’s no information on the label, check with an aromatherapy site, or ask a specific question on here about the essential oil you are thinking about using.

NO! Do not use essential oils
directly on the skin!!!
Essential oils are highly
concentrated and need to be
cut with other oils you use as
a base. These can be used
for massage or poultice.
Essential oils in their original
state can be used in diffusers
or a few drops in boiling water
as steam. A few drops can
be used in a bath.
Different oils are used for
different purposes.
Fragrance oils are just that,
used for a pleasant oder.
