Clary Sage Price Jump

[serfmunke]

Hi All, I purchase EOs through NDA. During my YE inventory, that I have been putting off, I noticed the Clary Sage price has more than doubled! :lolno: :wtf: :shock: I am hoping it is VERY temporary but it sucks because I am down to the last tid bit of my supply. I will have to shop around I suppose, just wondering if anyone knows why the price jumped like crazy.

Thanks for the heads up. I don't know why it's doubled but it's upsetting to hear. I was thinking it's time to order more since I only have about an ounce left. I guess I won't be ordering it now. Darn it! I don't know what I'll do since I blend it with other EOs and FOs to create scents. :-(

It's most likely due to crop issues on where it was grown. If you check out From Nature With Love, they have 3 different ones from 3 different countries. Russia = $30/oz, France = $58/oz, China = $5.60/oz

NDA is from China. I am not happy.

soapmakingresource.com has clary sage from Bulgaria:

1oz: $7.50
2oz: $13.82
4oz: $20.30
8oz: $36.70
16oz: $59.63

 

[serfmunke]

All those are better than $106 for 16 oz so I better get on it before it gets any more expensive, I love that stuff!

Thanks for the leads

I wrote NDA and their response was that it will go up more :thumbdown: :cry:

 

[Genny]

It could be that NDA didn't purchase their's at good price slump. Sometimes that happens

 

[Hazel]

Thanks everyone! I'll scurry off and check out the links.

I think Wellington has the best price at $49.85 for 1#.

i got 8 oz for $25 bucks and combined shipping on a bunch of other eos from SunPure Botanicals here http://www.ebay.com/itm/200377060213?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

price for 16 oz is $45.99 and $7.99 shipping http://www.ebay.com/itm/16-oz-CLARY...814?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ea76751b6

for what it's worth it's from the ukraine, don't know how quality varies among countries for this one.

i often buy from this seller - great prices and products and when i don't need big quantities they're definitely a go-to. shipping is too often a killer for me with the bigger sellers, although wellington's is pretty good...

OMG I feel your pain!!

I bought the same Clary Sage from NDA because it was on sale, tried it and fell in love. Went back to order more later and WHAT??? Crazy expensive.
Such a bummer!!!

I've purchased a few samples from different places and the closest scent to our beloved NDA Clary Sage that I've found is from Bulk Apothecary. It's $45.23 and from China. I haven't bought yet but will be soon. I've been hoping the NDA price would drop but now that you report that it will only go higher, I'll drop that hope!

Here's the link in case you want to check it out:

Wholesale price for clary sage at www.at-av.com is nearly $43/lb and comes from central Europe. I'd avoid anything that comes from China....

You need a password to get into AT-AV's wholesale section, but it's easy to get... just email them. They've been my main EO source for many years.

Ah! Good point about China, I hadn't thought about possible issues.
Thanks for the info about AT-AV, looking forward to trying their Clary!

Dang, I just bought some from China. Is inferior?
