Asker: I think প্রাকৃতিক নির্যাস means "natural extracts" (often used in Ayurvedic/Herbal medicine or cosmetics), which I suppose include 'essential oils', but seems to me includes a lot more than that. In any case, I'm accepting this since I can't think of anything better or more appropriate without sounding awkward or cumbersome. So, thanks again.

I think these are some options that you can use. They are easily understood by commoners as well as experts what 'essentials oil' mean.

Asker: Thanks. Your translations are probably nearer to the correct meaning, but as mentioned in the question, brevity and catchiness were also among my concerns. Thanks anyway.
