Looks like an essential oil though it doesn't say exactly those words, it says "100% natural". It also says that it's good to use up to 3%. I checked their website. Translated, it doesn't seem to have the words Essential Oil anywhere on this product. But I'm not sure what the laws are in France so maybe it needs to say Natural. It says on the website that it isn't synthetic.
Almost forgot, it has limonene, if that means anything. It's found in citrus foods.
Have to say, this is kind of a bit expensive. I wouldn't use it in soap, better to use it in something like lotion, but that's just me. You are very lucky. I bet it smells absolutely wonderful.

I'd guess it's not an essential oil/essential oil mix because there is a separate section for essential oils. It looks (from my very bad/high-school French) like it's some kind of derivative of a natural substance (maybe aroma chemicals?) in a carrier oil. It is kind of confusing.
I am blessed to have this young lady in my family
You are going to be a good MIL! Where are you in NC? I spent a big chunk of time in Durham and Chapel Hill and loved it there.
What a lovely gift! My guess is that this is a "natural fragrance oil" such as those Bramble Berry started selling a while back: Natural Fragrance Oils | BrambleBerry
This is how my browser translates the info on the French web page:

Hi ! French girl here: it is a natural fragrance, not an essential oil. Although natural fragrances do have essential oils in them. Hope it helps 
Edited to add this:
Natural aromatic substances can be essential oils, fractions or isolates of essential oils (compounds obtained by fractional distillation of essential oils) or substances obtained from plant raw materials through ecological processes such as fermentation or hydrolysis.

I live in Troy, in the center of the state. I went to UNC-CH so I’m familiar with Chapel Hill

This sounds right. It's a fragrance made from natural compounds, but not an essential oil. Essential oil in French would be "huile essentielle".

"contient du limonéne" = contains limonene
Yep, @A-Polly provided you with the important information from the brand website
I get my oils from this brand too. And only got a couple of their fragrances recently. I haven't tried them in soap yet and was actually disappointed they don't provide a specific guide line for the amount to use in cp soap. Also no information on possible discoloration or accelerating batter. Even though they do say it can be used in soap.
Consumers' comments only talk about using it in leave-on products (here it is if anyone is interested : https://www.aroma-zone.com/info/fic...cosmetique-naturelle-beauty-addict-aroma-zone)
Here is the list of the potential allergens in it, it is always good to have access to this information : limonene, geraniol, benzyle salicylate, linalol, citronellol, benzyle benzoate, citral, coumarine, farnesol.
They also say not to use it in diffusers or lip products.
If you try it, would you let me know how it went ?
Edit : Well, actually, while I was writing this post, I was thinking I should mail them and ask them about their fragrances in cp soap. Would you like me to ask a couple of questions for you as well ? How do you plan using it ?

Yes, please. I’m leaning towards using it in leave on products

I showed ChatGPT a pic of the jar and asked it read their website the French website for this product n yep me what it is. It said, "The product your friend got in Paris is a natural cosmetic fragrance called "Beauty Addict" by Aroma-Zone. It's a versatile scent, suitable for various types of skincare and body care products, such as moisturizers, makeup removers, and deodorants. The fragrance is described as reminiscent of a creamy and soft scent on clean, fresh skin, and it's 100% natural, with its origins in France. It's composed of natural aromatic substances that may include essential oils, fractions of essential oils, or substances derived from plant materials through eco-friendly processes like fermentation or hydrolysis. The product comes in an amber glass bottle and is not suitable for lip products. It has a powdery fragrance with fresh and light top notes and a rich, creamy base. It's also important to note that, despite being natural, some components may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, so it should not be ingested, kept out of reach of children, and avoided contact with the eyes"

Well, that's amazingly cool it figured that out. It's also a bit scary.
@not_ally, @Kaybrantley hello from a former North Carolinian! I lived in Fayetteville for many years and Sanford for 13 years before moving to Idaho.
My husband is from Lemin Springs!
@Tammyfarms, NC is a really great place. I miss it even after being away for decades. @Kaybrantley, I'm a Tarheel too, as are the rest of my sibs! Amazing education, at such a low price. I paid for it myself by waiting tables, I don't know if that's possible anywhere these days.
That’s funny! We lived on Swann station about 2 miles from Lemon Springs. My husband was in a hunting club in Troy. It’s such a small world.
I'm so sorry the end of 2023 was crazy busy for me and I haven't sent that e-mail yet !
And I realised I don't know what questions you'd like me to ask.
For use in leave on product they recommend on their website 0.3 to 1% if for the face and up to 2% if in a body product.
Happy new year by the way
