Quality of each essential oil depends on many factors such as place of origin, weather, altitude, time of harvest, process of distillation and knowledge of the distiller.

We carefully choose all of our essential oils from the most appropriate source of growing and harvesting. Each source are either located on the origin of each plant or the best location for growing that plant. For example, Lavender from France, Rose from Bulgaria, Frankincense from Kenya. Each distiller is the most trusted and only offer the top quality essential oil that match with standard specificition to ensure it's quality. Our distiller are both small expert distiller that produce only specific essential oil of their expertise or major essential oil producer from European countries that farming and distilling many plants around the world.

Only one way to exactly know the purity and quality of each essential oil is to perform a full range analytical testing. Currently, Gas Chromatography / Mass Spectrometer (GC/MS) is the best method. Anyway, it's quite difficult to obtain this test or not worth to do this expensive test for just small amount of essential oil.

There are many essential oils commercial grade, or even fake, diluted with synthetics in the market that harmful to your body. The best way to ensure that you've what you pay for is to buy from trusted sellers. List of essential oils offer by each seller should be a reasonable pricelist. Should be neither cheap, expensive nor all the same price!, but must be mixed together. For example, Orange, Eucalyptus, Lemongrass, Tea Tree or Rosemary should not much expensive. Lavender, Geranium, Ylang Ylang should have a fair price and Rose, Jasmine, Immortelle, Sandalwood should be highest. If you find seller that sell expensive oils too cheap. If they can not provide a good answer about essential oils, if they can not make you trusted, Think first before paying your money!

1. Quantity of Raw Material: Some essential oils require tons of raw materials to obtain just 1.0 kg of essential oil. The essential oil of these should not be cheap commercially. For example, Rose Oil require 3 tons of rose petals to distill 1.0kg of Rose Otto. The price of authentic Rose Oil should be very expensive.

2. Yield : Some plant offer very low yield of essential oil. If any plant that offer high yeild, the price should be less expensive than the low yield plant. For example, Orange peel offer high yield of Orange essential oil, so, the price of Orange Essential Oil will be quite cheap comparing with other essential oils.

3. Method of Extraction : The extraction process has different cost. Mechanically Cold-Pressed seems likely to be cheapest method. Steam distillation and Solvent Extraction is a bit higer cost due to is factility and SFE-CO2 is considered the most expensive extraction method.

Choosing between pure essential oil that from natural and synthetic fragrance is depends on purpose of use. If you're just prefer the pleasure scent without caring the therapeutic benifits, if you're not allergy with synthetic substance.
