Smells Legit and I’m really picky. Also great customer service.
Before i get on my soapbox let me mention the customer service. The first time i ordered this oil, i actually received a half full leaky bottle of lemongrass. Oops. The plus was that my entire package smelled so lovely. Since amazon apparently fulfilled the order, i promptly received a refund through them, and ordered the chamomile again. So, i got a free half bottle of lemongrass from the deal. Sweet, i love lemongrass.
Now, to the soapbox...
Synthetic fragrances of any kind give me a yucky dull headache. My husband sometimes laughs because I always “smell the chemicals”. I make my own shampoo/body wash, and I don’t use cleaners with chemicals in them.
Having said that, this oil smells legit. I have used different brands of Roman chamomile oil, and this is on par with all the others. Don’t let the AWESOME price deter you. It’s a startup company, so the price is low for now at least, and I’m snatching up all the “fancy oils” while the gettin’s good.
It really irritates me when folks trashtalk certain cheaper brands simply because they’re cheaper. Granted, there are some brands I wouldn’t touch with a 10 ft pole, but those brands are easy to spot with legit, non biased research. Each company does their own third party testing, and there’s NO NATIONAL STANDARD FOR “THERAPEUTIC GRADE ESSENTIAL OIL.” I’ve smelled young living oils and doterra and compared them with gya labs and now brand (another fav of mine) and they are the basically the same. There will be slight deviations at times, but not really from brand to brand...it’s from batch to batch, which makes sense because plants are not all exactly the same. It’s like us...we’re all equal yet totally unique.
Look, if you want to buy the more expensive brands because you feel they’re better, go for it! I won’t hold it against you. 😉. BUT, if you’re on a budget but you still want the benefits of essential oil, don’t be afraid of this brand. Now brand and edens garden are also great. Plant therapy is good too, and they have oils I’ve never even heard of. It’s OKAY. You’re not ingesting chemicals or getting ripped off by diluted junk when you purchase these brands. I clean the house with them, I clean myself with them, I put them in my diffuser, and sometimes I even put a cpl drops in a capsule and take them internally when I’m starting to not feel well. (Please research the proper internal oils before shoving them down the hatch first). IT ALL WORKS FOR ME. I feel better, look better, and I smell better lol.
