Rose Oil - Be Warned

You are perzackly right. That reminds me of a couple of the tales my

Grandpa told me when I was a yonker .. and back then it didn't mean

doodly to me but when I recall it now I realize that there was a lot of

logic in it. He said .. when you go to a bar and the bartender gives

you a drink without asking what you want .. you been going to the bar a

little too often. ;-)

 

But another tale he told is in line with your statement. Might be that

Grandpa was embellishing a bit on this one .. but his point was well

taken after a few years. He said that back in the 30s there was a

summer where the Black Flies were taking over Tennessee. Said a company

came out in the newspaper with a guaranteed method of killing them ..

forget the cost but it wasn't much by today's standards .. probably was

then though. Said it was guaranteed IF you followed the instructions

exactly .. and they would double your money back if it didn't work.

 

What they sent was two blocks of wood with instructions to place the

Black Fly on one on the blocks and smash him with the other one. ;-)

Grandpa said the authorities could do nothing in that they had not

falsely advertised .. course, times have changed I reckon. Still .. his

point got across.

 

Many times I and others have written on this list that there are no

Mother Theresa types in this business .. and there are fairly standard

international prices for this and that Essential Oil .. there is no way

that one is going to find a real bargain on a pure and quality EO. True

it is that some companies will charge less than others but the delta

should not be too great. A real high price is NOT an indication of

purity or quality .. it could mean that the seller doesn't have a lot of

sales and they need to make a large profit margin on each sale .. but a

real low price is usually an indication of purity and quality .. it

means (in most cases) that the product is NOT a quality product .. or it

is not from the Origin claimed. In the case of the Rose Otto that

kicked this thread off .. we now know that it was NOT Bulgarian Rose

Otto .. it was Chinese Rose Otto .. and I'd not give $1,000 a kilo for

that stuff.
