 Firstly, I do not understand why this company sent me another oil, after my previous reviews. I was NOT thrilled with the first three they send me. Peppermint, Lavender and Tea Tree. They messed up PEPPERMINT, it was bright yellow and it smelled bad. Not sure how that even happens.

Then the fourth oil, I actually gave a one star, scathing review. It was for their “helichrysum”. It was a toxic green color and smelled AWFUL. It was nowhere near pure and it was painfully obvious. I was not shy about saying this.

Sooooo, did they think a fifth might turn me around? Make me think that their company isn’t mislabeling their oils? Well. I can say it did not have this effect.

They sent me their bergamot oil which, again, is supposed to be 100% pure and natural. I tried to give it the benefit of the doubt and cleared my mind before opening it for testing. As always, the oil is in a brown glass bottle that arrives with a flat cap on, with a dropper wrapped in bubble wrap to the side.

I swapped caps and went to draw some out. Welp, the dropper isn’t quite right. The glass tube was all the way up into the bulb. I wiggled this most of the way down, but it’s certainly not SOLIDLY positioned.

After “fixing this”, I pulled some oil and personally thought that the color was a little light, and again, not right. Bergamot oil should have a green hue ranging from pale to dark. This was more yellow. Just like the others.

When I FIRST opened the bottle it smelled somewhat citrusy, as it should. But after letting it breath and set on my pallet for a minute I could smell other notes in it. Chemical notes. I had my husband check it too. His first statement it that it smells NOTHING like bergamot. Just chemical citrus. Lovely. More oil I don’t trust to come in contact with my family.

 I PERSONALLY will not be buying from this company but I WILL be telling others about my observations. I do not suggest falling for their “BARGAIN” priced oils. You are not going to get what you’re looking for.

I received this oil in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
