What do you think of the strange smell of essential oil?

It's okay, don't worry so much, because the taste of pure essential oils itself is really special, so if you are not familiar with it, you may think it is broken, hehe.

The fragrance of essential oil is different from the plants it extracts, such as lavender. Sometimes, its fragrance is not what you think at all. For example, rose essential oil is not as sweet as roses. There are many ingredients in plants that produce fragrance, but not all of them will be in essential oil. If you are used to a certain fragrance, such as cosmetics, soap, perfume or sesame oil, you will find that the taste of pure essential oils is not what you expected. The synthetic fragrance is not very strong, but slightly contains the fragrance of pure essential oils.

The concentration of essential oil and perfume will not determine the therapeutic effect. For some essential oils, a faint scent means purity (sandalwood is an example). Strong fragrance is often caused by synthetic additives. It takes effort to judge the quality of essential oil with "nose", but it can be done as long as you have patience. The fragrance of essential oil will be affected by many factors, such as country of origin, environment (weather, season), distillation and storage methods and even the health status of people who smell the fragrance.
