Why True Essential Oils Don’t Smell the Same from Bottle to Bottle
I found the aroma intoxicating.
Geranium essential oil. My first obsession oil from Young Living over 23 years ago.
I used it daily…
I ordered another bottle and it was nothing like what I had been using.
I called the company and learned so much on that one call.
Each “lot”, each distillation, has its own unique aroma and properties.
The weather during the season—the wind, the rain, the temperatures, everything —impacts the plant and ultimately the constituents upon distillation.
Remember that when an oil smells different. Conditions can only be held constant in a laboratory where synthetic compounds (“essential oils”) are created.
If the essential oils you use always smell the same from bottle to bottle, it’s a sign they are created rather than distilled from plants which experience unique conditions.
On the other hand, when they smell different from year to year, you know they are the real deal.
Oh, and I was encouraged when I like a particular oil, to quickly buy a few bottles so it’s all from the same distillation. Advice I have followed all these years!
