The only " grades " I've ever seen here in US is the YL Crap Hype of how their oils are " Therapeutic Grade " . I know there is a difference in quality - like commercial quality as opposed to a quality that is suitable for Aromatherapy, but never knew about an official grading system being in place. Also with regards to the Ylang Ylang - are you referring to the difference between Ylang Ylang Extra, Ylang Ylang Complete, Ylang Ylang I and so forth down the line?
