I never cared about the origins of essential oils before. I thought if you have the same plant species, same plant part and same extraction method, you should have same result eos. Boy am I wrong.

Today i got my little package of Tunisia neroli, oman frankinsence, france lavender, Somalia myrrh, bulgaria rose water and Indian mysore sandalwood. they just smells soooooooo differently from the ones who-know-where-they-come-from. the scent is so much more mellow and complicated, and it linger in the air for much longer.

so learn from my experience, pay more and get the real thing.... france neroli and australia sandalwood are just not good enough....
