Fake
Something is off about this essential oil (EO). First is the scent. I realize that our noses can be tricked, but the scent seems wrong to me. It is too strong & overly sweet or perfumy. Simply put, it smells fake.<br /><br />There is an incredible amount of EO fraud online. Aside from my nose, there are a few other things about this EO that bug me:<br />1) No botanical name.<br />2) No Country Of Origin aka COO<br />3) No distillation method<br />4) No certifications<br /><br />What they got right:<br />1) The bottle is amber glass with a standard screw cap. There is no euro/reducer top. A glass bulb dropper is included.<br /><br />I ordered this to make my own milk soap. I've been making it for years using the cold process method. I usually buy 4 ounce bottles of EO's which gives me 4 batches of soap (when using one EO). I will not be using this brand. Brands I trust are NOW & Plant Therapy. Both have USDA Certified organic options. There are other brands as well, but those are the two that easily come to mind.<br /><br />I'm not an EO expert, just a decades long user. I never use fragrances or perfumes. I have autoimmune disease & must be very careful about what I am exposed to. Should you buy this brand? I say "No" because there are other brands to choose from that seem much more on the up & up. But that is for you to decide.
