RE: Egyptian Essential Oils ** Prices & Purity

[Guest guest]

Hi Michelle,

 

I'm not meaning to dampen any happy spirits, and I know that economics

are much different over there, but $30 USD for 2 oz of Sandalwood, Rose

and/or Jasmine oils are less than the cost of production of those oils,

even in Egypt (or Turkey, or India), which makes me raise an eyebrow as

to the purity of oils for that price.

 

Just to give you an idea of prices, even in Turkey where Rose Otto is

produced, it costs about $15 USD for 1 ml of real, unadulterated Rose

Otto ... but they sell plenty of fake rose oil all over the place for

very cheap ...

 

I know that when I deal with oil producers from any corner of the Earth,

I do have to be very careful when it comes to getting a totally " real "

oils. There are lots of " monkeyed " with oils out there in the world.

The " perfume " in Egypt is actually 100% essential oils. We went to a

perfumery and I bought the most heavenly Sandalwood (my long time

fave) at just $30 USD for 2 ounces. Rose and jasmine are the same

price! Since I don't make my own EO's, I bought enough to last 'til my

next trip.

 

Thanks for the memories!
