Essential oils are like liquid gold

Essential oil absolutes, resins and concretes are the fundamental building blocks of botanical perfumery. They are also a very rare and expensive commodity. They are what we use in our workshops – the genuine exotic ingredients for you to experience first hand.

This quote from Wikipedia is an extract from an article about synthetic perfumery ingredients (indoles) which illustrates the dramatic scale of difference between the origins and pricing of synthetic versus plant based perfume ingredients.

"…1 kilogram of the natural oil requires processing several million jasmine blossoms and costs around $10,000, indole (among other things) is used in the manufacture of synthetic jasmine oil (which costs around $10/kg)." Go to Wiki Page on Indoles.
