Where to get the best EOs?

[BobbiOh]

I've been out of soapmaking for 20 years and have decided to get back in to it.

I used to get my EOs from EOU and they were fantastic. Now, I understand that they aren't around any longer. I've found a lot of suppliers, but I want real life experiences. So, I'd like to know where do you get yours and how is the service?

Thank you!

Camden Grey was my go-to until they closed. I'm now using New Directions Aromatics, and sometimes, Hopewell Oils if their bulk price is good enough.

I used New Directions Aromatics as well after searching through this forum for an hour. LOVE their oils. They're legit (not the amazon knock-offs which I learned are just not real!). They smell amazing (the lavender and grapefruit in particular are heavenly!). And they ship pretty fast! The downside is that there is shipping, not matter where you are. I bought in bulk to make my shipping worth it, though it was only $15 so still not bad.

I like Liberty Naturals too, they are my go to after New Directions Aromatics. They have greater selections than NDA and are sometimes cheaper for some oils. However, no supplier can match the quality of NDA’s Patchouli, Cedarwood and Lavender.

ETA: Disclaimer: This is my opinion having sampled over 6 suppliers for the 3 essential oils.
