Various sources. They come in different qualities and you get what you pay for. Organic is obviously best.

Some EO are so expensive that they are commonly sold diluted. That is OK as long as the original oil is good. Rose is usually sold in this form as it is eyewateringly expensive undiluted due to the amount of rose material needed to produce even a drop of pure oil.

Avoid those sold as room fragrancers - usually synthetic and/or low quality.

Tisserand is my brand of choice but I do use others.

Tisserand are really good.
As above, make sure it is EO that you are buying and not fragrance oil.
The oils very a lot in price as some,like helichrysum, take so many flowers to get even a tiny drop of oil.

Thankyou. I have some lovely organic ones already. Wanted to buy some more but wanted to make sure it was from somewhere that sells good quality essential oils as you said I don’t want to be buying anything synthetic or low quality so I never buy the cheap ones
