YOUNG LIVING vs DOTERRA vs PLANT THERAPY Smell Comparison 

I definitely agree 💯% with you! It sounds like you have already used Plant Therapy 😁. And yes! I love how they have a KIDSAFE line. Unfortunately, I've seen other popular brands with "kidslines" with dilution rates and essential oils that are considered unsafe for kids... 😶YIKES! Thanks for commenting and sharing your views ✌🏻🌿💕

Yes, i agree with that, PT offer free delivery if I not mistaken but it will take longer time to reach you. Of course there are some essential oil with USDA organic label might be more expensive, but in my opinion as a PT user, you not even need to buy an EO with USDA organic label because most of EO are 100% pure EO extract from the plant directly without mix any chemical compound. So it is safe oil to use and worth for money’s if you want to enjoy good quality EO but cheaper price.

@@liphinlaw3850 love this! And I believe you are right about the free shipping for US citizens. I'm Canadian so for me I get free shipping on any orders over $50 USD. =). I don't want to pay shipping so I make bigger orders, haha.

Jessential Life Same does for my side, I currently stay in Singapore. International delivery is free only if your order above 50 usd. It just take approximately two weeks to reach you, now due to covid 19 pandemic it take even longer. Sometime I don’t want to wait for long delivery I will pay some amount for postage charge.

@@liphinlaw3850 nice! I didn't know that. And I know it can be hard to wait too long for essential oils after making an order, haha 😄 so I understand.

Hi Erica. LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS comparison!♡♡♡ Sounds like you have some experience with different companies! Wow. I hear that some blends are pretty dreamy from RMO, but that is one company I have never tried... yet. :)

I am happy to hear that you decided to try out Plant Therapy and are happy about your choice. I love them! I'm not sure if you are following me on instagram but my handle is @jessentiallife and I am currently posting Plant Therapy's daily deals (because they have a huge sale going on right now with daily deals/sales which is super exciting!). If you are interested in checking out the upcoming daily deals that Plant Therapy has going on, feel free to check out my IG stories =).

@@JessentialLife thank you so much!

My pleasure!

Hey @KevinDrakeFitness ! Super fascinating, I love it! Thank you so much for sharing that! I love hearing what people like most between different brand names. And I'm just curious... Was she more familiar with Plant Therapy before smelling doTERRA’s lavender? Or was she more familiar with Doterra when she smelt them both? I'm super curious! Thanks for your comments and sharing your experiences!

@@JessentialLife She is not into essential oils as much as I am. So she was not familiar with either 😄.

@@kevindrake714 haha! Right on! I love fresh opinions and feedback like that! Because when we are used to a certain company or aroma we may naturally prefer it (just like I may not be used to PT'S lavender). What about you? Do you have a preference?

when it comes to oils, it's not always about the smell. Some really putrid oils like Vetiver and Myrrh have some incredible benefits. Have you tried Neem oil? It literally stinks so bad but is so healing to very dry brittle skin.

HI @THE ROOTS REPORT! Loved hearing your feedback and the brand you enjoy the most ♡. When you say that your nose can definitely spot a synthetic aroma, are you suggesting that you believe the other brands smell "synthetic"?

She’s gotta protect her dignity. Like hop off honey.

@@JessentialLife no, i am not saying that at all. I have smelled synthetic oils before though. I am learning there are other good oil brands besides dT. It is quite strange that I didn't know this before. I purchased a Clary Sage from Revive and compared it to the dT Clary Sage and actually liked the smell of Revive better. All I am saying is that it's hard to tell synthetic oils from authentic oils, and I am hoping to learn more about this as well.

Thanks for your comment Chryso! And that is awesome that you have a lot of these oils at your place. If you have multiple brands, I'd be really curious to hear what you thought of them and if there are any differences you noticed that you would like to share :).

Where an eo is from can definitely make a difference ♡.

@@JessentialLife Hopefully this helps...The Plant Therapy Lavender Fine is a lot closer to Doterra and Florihana. Also, I have tried all three from Plant Therapy and the organic and regular Bulgarian are very different. I didn't like them either, but some people do. You want to look for the Lavandula angustifolia. :) However, the Edens Garden one isn't good. I do love them though, just not the lavender. Thanks for the review! This is very helpful.

Thanks Nokomi 😊. I loved your review!!! And tbh, I've liking my more recent Plant Therapy lavender (I am not sure if it has changed or I am just getting used to it). I order their Lavandula angustifolia ♡

Doterra also has lavender from Bulgaria 😉

Thanks Felicia for the compliment on my channel name 😊. I created my channel to create a community of people who love essential oils, so feel free to subscribe if you would like to see more! 🌿💕

I love how you have gluten free recipes on your channel btw 🤩

@@JessentialLife How sweet of you to visit my channel as well 😻 Let's support each other 💞just subbed - determined to learn more about essential oils 😁

Hi Juliefe. Thanks for the lovely compliment ♡. And my pleasure! I'm glad you enjoyed it the video!

Hey Ocean, thank you! That is sweet of you to say. I'm glad that you found an essential oil company that you enjoy 😊.

I checked out your channel. I loved your video in Japan. I look forward to seeing more ✌🏻💕. And to respond to your question... have I ever used doterra's roll ons. I used to, but I don't anymore because it is pretty concentrated and doterra unfortunately doesn't reveal the dilution rate (which is important info for safety) so I just use essential oils which I can control the dilution rate of. 💕✌🏻

Happy to hear that ❤

Thanks for watching! 😊. I'm glad you liked it Keo

Thanks. And you are right. The smell of an essential oil doesn't necessarily reflect the quality of an essential oil, however it can help. (Sometimes smell does have to do with quality/purity in the sense that once one develops their nose they can spot fakes easier but smelling an oil is not fail proof ;-) ) But as for this video, the smell does not reflect the quality of each of the brands as I would be okay with using all 3 brands in terms of quality.

I'm glad that you chose a company that resonates with you. :)

Thanks for sharing, Dana. :)

Really good point! I appreciate you commenting that! I've definitely read something about that before. I personally haven't come across those details yet in my studies so I'm not 100% sure on that quite yet. 🙂. May I ask what essential oil brands you use?

Jessential Life I use Plant Therapy, Eden’s Garden, Eden Botanicals, and Rocky Mountain Oils. Florihana, Aromatics International, and Revive are also on my radar but I haven’t tried them yet.

@@nolita505 Ahhh! That's so exciting that you've tried so many different brands. I enjoy that! 💕

@@nolita505 I have tried some Revive oils and blends in order to compare to dT.

Oh my goodness! I had no idea sample boards even existed! You just blew my mind right there. Thanks for sharing this! And yes, that is such a great idea for companies to do!

Have you used any of these brands before :)?

Hi Laura. Young Living and doTERRA are definitely the most expensive. Plant Therapy is a lot more affordable. I would probably say that REVIVE is comparable to Plant Therapy in regards to pricing. Also, if you have never ordered from Plant Therapy before and would like $10 OFF your first purchase of $25+, I'll give you my referral link if you choose to use it. Here is my referral link : rwrd.io/s39nv13 (You will use the code it gives you for the $10 OFF if you want it)

I believe they are both pure, Young Living and doTERRA. I've used both. Both have been extremely effective for me ♡. However, Young Living doesn't provide their GC/MS reports (purity test results) to the public so it is hard to say for sure if they are actually pure (however, I don't have reason to believe they are not pure, except for in the past when I have heard cases when some of Young Living's oils have been found adulterated. If you would like to see one of these stories, Google "The day Young Living Broke my Heart". You will find one. Personally, I have had a good experience with YL in terms of the oils working, but it bothers me that Young Living doesn't provide their purity test results to the public... yikes. I believe EVERY essential oil company should provide these purity test results (GC/MS reports) to their customers... so when they don't, I generally don't like to buy from them. All that being said, there is NOT just one good essential oil company (leaving the others to be synthetic). There are many wonderful options to choose from in regards to eo companies with pure eos.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I love hearing what aromas people like and dislike 💕🌿. May I ask what other brands you use?

@@JessentialLife You're welcome! I really, 90% or more, only use Plant Therapy. I like Eden's Garden and Aromatics International and will go there for deals or oils PT doesn't have. I had some rewards points and got Indian Sandalwood from Eden's Garden for $35, and it's my favorite oil! Very weak smell though, hard to blend with anything and still smell it. I forget the name of the first company I bought from on Amazon back before I knew anything. Lol. I have only bought one blend from DoTerra but have won 4 of their oils. I love Stress Away from YL, no company has a blend to match it that I've seen!

@@JessieMillerUnboxingsandMore I love how you have tried so many different brands!!!! 😍 And I also love the feedback about edens garden. I've never used it before writing this comment so I like to hear your take and experiences. Thanks so much for sharing this 😊

@@JessentialLife you're welcome! Yeah I like that Eden's Garden has 5mL options if there's an oil you want to try or you know you won't use much of. The other one of theirs that I have is Mountain Savory, a typical herbal smell, very nice. Eden's Garden has been voted the top best non-MLM EO company for a few years in a row, with PT close behind. PT has better prices per mL than Eden's Garden, and you can't beat their rewards points, giveaways, and deals in December and July! Do you primarily use DoTerra?

@@JessieMillerUnboxingsandMore WOW! You know SO MUCH about the other companies. You are a wealth of knowledge. That 5ml option is nice that Edens Garden has. I just started looking them up this year when I saw they won the voted best non-MLM eo company on the Essential Oil University FB page. Super fascinating. And I used to use solely doterra, now I use a lot of other brands including: doterra, plant therapy, aliksir, rae dunphy, revive, new directions, and I think that is it for now if I remember correctly.

I’ve looked into the test charts on plant therapy are all the chemicals naturally in the plant? Sorry for the dumb question I don’t know much about plants or essential oils😬

@@micheller7541 Hi Michelle, when you say you are looking at the test charts do you mean the GC/MS reports? If so, yes, these are naturally occurring chemicals in plants. So chemicals like "menthol" in peppermint, "1,8-cineole" in plants like rosemary and eucalyptus. Each plant will have a different chemical makeup depending on what it is. It can vary slightly from batch to batch, but they relatively stay the same if they are the same plant. Does this make sense? And I answered your first question in the other comment you made ✌🏻🌿

Jessential Life I was looking at the charts with all these different types of names and percentages it was a bit scary because I don’t know what any of these are I tried to look up a few , I just want to make sure they are really natural and organic and that I’m not putting anything bad into my blood stream when I use it topically or if I put a few drops in my drink. Sorry I read some dangers about essential oils but I really do want to get into it. Also why are some essential oils organic and some aren’t? PT

So sorry to keep bothering have you heard of aromatics?

@@micheller7541 Aromatics International or New Directions Aromatics? 🙂 I've heard of both!

Thank you! 😊💕

You may have noticed (if you happened to check my description) but I am an affiliate with Plant Therapy because they are the company I prefer and am comfortable sharing and referring to friends and family. All these brands are fine, in the sense that I would not be worried about friends and family using them, but there is some concerning safety info provided by these brands, so I choose to align with a company that I am feel prioritizes safety for the most part. (I am an aromatherapy student btw). Hope this makes sense! Let me know if you have any questions.

Interesting observation with the concentrations. :-)

And I respect your comment about the internal usage. It's neat to see you have check into this. If you don't mind, I would like to add my opinion and experience if that's okay... I used to be with Young Living and doTERRA and you are right...they do encourage internal usage of essential oils. You are correct that plant therapy does not encourage the internal use of essential oils. I believe that YL and doterra encourage this usage because of their training and qualifications (it doesn't seem that any are aromatherapists). If the owners of Young Living and doTERRA were aromatherapists then they would not encourage the unsafe practice of using essential oils by adding it to your water nor would they be able to encourage the ingestion of essential oils lightly. At Plant Therapy, they are aromatherapists and know the risks and liabilities associated with ingestion. If you take a look at a few associations of aromatherapists such as NAHA or AIA, you will see that aromatherapists do not have the right in North America to encourage the ingestion of essential oils if they want to remain in practice (because of the risks and dangers associated with it). As an aromatherapy student, I am concerned that MLM companies such as Young Living and doTERRA are encouraging the ingestion of essential oils. I think it is great that you are checking out different brands. :-) I hope you are having a lovely day!

Yes those Essential oil extracted fully from any plant are concentrated, so it will become burden to our organ like liver if you take it internally directly. But if you put in the food recipe the risk should be lower because it will dilute with cooking oil. Doterra now also distinguish different type of oil, once is for food like Oregano, you can use to make pasta but the other can use tropically only. Therefore the price will be different, make you check carefully before order.

@@JessentialLife This is the reason why I don't like Young Living. A lot of the stuff they claim has no empirical basis and is just marketing. YL: "Want to detox your body? Lemon is the perfect essential oil for that! Add a few drops of it to your water!" Aromatherapist: "Uh, no. Please don't do that."

I cringe a bit everytime I hear people telling others to put essential oils in their water. Yikes!

Hi there, why is that if you don't mind me asking?

✌🏻🔥 haha, I love Plant Therapy too.

Thanks for sharing all this! I love hearing different comparisons like this and other people's experiences. As for your question about "do I think that doterra recommends higher dilution rates to be used because you've stated their oils seem milder in scent?" That is a super question! However, I really don't believe so. Unfortunately, these types of dilution rates are recommended by the two main MLM essential oil companies. So I think it is just that. Some of the doterra founders used to work with YL. From what I've seen, they recommend that a lot of oils be used neat or barely diluted. There are different speculations why doterra and YL recommend such high dilution rates and "unsafe" usage recommendations in the eyes of most aromatherapists. Some think it's for money, more drops used, more sales. And personally when I was in a business call with an upline I was told to encourage higher dilution rates in rollers because people would use their oils faster and would have to buy more. More sales = more commissions. This was before I was educated, but still something didn't seem right.

I Iike like you are open to trying different oils! 😊 Neroli is a considered a precious oil (like rose is) so unfortunately it will be a more on the pricey side. However, Plant Therapy will be more affordable than doterra (if that helps). 😊. And just a heads up, if neroli is too affordable, that's usually a red flag that it may not pure or may be adulterated. So it's okay to invest a pretty penny into an oil like neroli. Good luck!🌿✌🏻

@@JessentialLife thanks for the advice! I'll keep you posted!

Hi Stepha! In regards to all of these companies, they are all pure =). Young Living and doTERRA are the most expensive (because of the MLM business model). However, Plant Therapy is one of my personal favorite go to. They are pure AND I love the pricing. IF you are interested in trying Plant Therapy out, I have a referral link that would get you $10 OFF your first $25+ order. You may click it and it will give you a Code to APPLY AT CHECKOUT ;). rwrd.io/s39nv13 (You don't have to click the link, but I felt I should share it with you just in case you could benefit from it)

I really need peppermint I usually only buy doterra, can you eat the peppermint? I mean put it on my tongue for my migraines

Hi Sarah Renee! Great question. To respond to your question about ingesting essential oils and putting them in your mouth, I understand that MLM companies (doTERRA and Young Living) really push this and encourage this practice, however it isn't really a practice that is encouraged by aromatherapists because of the safety risks behind it. Can you ingest with Plant Therapy? Well, it is possible. They are pure! However, they have aromatherapists on staff and wouldn't encourage ingestion without the supervision of a someone trained. And to be honest, for migraine relief it is not necessary to ingest and just by applying it diluted around your head and neck and inhaling it should be sufficient. I think you would be surprised ♡♡. Hope this helps!

Wow I never knew that.. I think I'm done with Doterra. So thankful I found your channel

Btw, Just ordered through your link to save $10! I called Doterra and cancelled my membership

Thanks so much, Kristina. Do you mean you cannot find valor on Young Living's website? :)

Hi Hannah! You are the SECOND PERSON to tell me that Plant Therapy's Fine Lavender smells more like doTERRA! Thank you for sharing that. I might just have to buy it to check it out ♡. I'm getting more and more curious!

@@JessentialLife if you need dT oils, I would love to help. I can let you use my wholesale account to get the best pricing if you want to try anything. Just let me know!

I'm not sure about YL. doTERRA says they are "beyond organic" (not really sure how to take that). But Plant Therapy has BOTH organic and non-organic options for their oils. (I should have a shop link in the description for returning customers and referral link & code to save money on your first Plant Therapy order if you like).

@@JessentialLife No thanks, I am buying oils from New Directions Aromatics and some other companies since 2011. But only in the last 3 years , I buy only organics since the difference is so fundamental. I have to since my skin is so sensitive as I have psoriasis so now I only use organics and trying to figure out what to do with these non organic oils since they are so irritating to my skin other than using them for cleaning . That "beyond organic" sounds like non organic

Hahaha, I was thinking the SAME THING about that "beyond organic" comment. And NDA! Many I ask... are you Canadian? =)

@@JessentialLife Yes , I live nearby to NDA warehouse but that's not why I shop there . With that said , as far as essential and even carrier oils go, organic is the only way

I agree! And I LOVE that you do! I wish I was there in Ontario for that reason, too! Haha, you are so lucky! My friend lives by there and it is mind-blowing how practical it is

Hi Lip Hin Law! I have never heard of them until now, so I don't have anything to share from my experience. :-) but I am curious to see what others have to say about it :-).

i used that n smell so good but not too strong

Hi Michelle! Thanks for stopping by and commenting! Essential oils are a great way to support your body and immune system so congratulations on stepping into the world of aromatherapy! To be honest, I've never heard of eco modern essentials until now! So thank you for introducing me to them. I just quickly skimmed their website to check them out. I see that they are an Australian company. That is really neat. I don't know enough about the company to really tell you if I would say they are "better" or comparable to Plant Therapy and I want to be careful in saying one brand is better than another (unless there are some serious reasons or red flags for me to do so.) Here is a secret: there are actually a lot of great brands out there 😉. What I can say about what I briefly saw on the eco modern essentials was that I didn't have any blatant red flags jumping out at me (like all the oils having the same price, questionable price range of the oils, missing latin binomial names, etc). However the site was missing some information that I PERSONALLY look for on a company's website (such as available GC/MS reports, disclosed dilution rates of roll-on products, etc.). Again, this is just my personal preference. But to be honest, Plant Therapy is my current favourite. And Plant Therapy's staff are aromatherapists so they are professionals and can give educated opinions and advice. Not all companies offer that. I really trust them, their products and safety information (except for that one product they had in the past for ear infections... essential oils should NEVER be put inside your ears.) But other than that, they are my go to and I HIGHLY recommend them. If you'd like, I have a link in the description of my video that will give you $10 off your first purchase of $25 or more (and it will give me $10 towards my next order). I don't know what else to say 😊 because I don't know the other company very well, but I am extremely satisfied with PT. JESS P.S. Their prices are in USD.

I've done about 800 hours of research on essential oils and which are the best. Plant Therapy and Eden's Garden are my favorite brands PT more than EG. PT has my favorite singles and the company itself is a great one super great customer service. EG has my favorite blends but the customer service is not my favorite so just because of that I always like to get PT. With PT if you don't like an oil you get, just let them know and it's refunded no questions asked-amazing, it shows they truly care about their customers. You can ask whatever questions you need and their aromatherapist will quickly get back with you with loads of helpful info. They just go above and beyond I love that! They also do RU-vid live videos 2 times a week and you can win several different oils per live video, super cool! Hope that helps!

@@JessentialLife but have you tried Revive brand? And how about the brand Dr. Pappas recommends on his FB group? I am trying to remember the name. He backs it 100% and he used to do testing for dT.

hi:)) I offered this to the creator of this video, but would like to extend the offer to you. If you want to try any dT oils, just let me know and I am happy to let you use my wholesale pricing. I can ship anywhere.

Definitely, I believe our tastes and preferences change over time! And Clary Sage from PT is growing on me too 🙂. Thanks for sharing with me how your preferences have changed. I dont know if I have already smelled the French Lavender. That is a must do now!! Haha. Hmmm... good question! Florihana vs PT. I only have 3 eos from Florihana, but I really do think they are both good... I cannot say one is better than the other. However PT is my natural go-to because: 💚Service is in English (although I do speak French, I prefer service in my first language.) 💚I know they have aromatherapists in the company to answer any questions (I'm not sure for Florihana though. I haven't really looked into it much because I am really happy with PT). 💚Their teachings match my aromatherapy studies so when I have questions for them I know we are on the same page. 💚PT perks and rewards program. I'm HOOKED. 💚Customer service is great. 💚France is far so I thought I would support the North American economy over the European economy... it's "almost local" haha. I'm Canadian. 💚 Their bottles are WAAAY more easier to open then PTs Hope this answers your question! I guess I just fell in love with PT so I don't feel the need to look elsewhere.🌿✌🏻

@@JessentialLife Oh wow! Thank you! Exactly what I needed to hear, it sounds like you and I are also in the same page! Lol Yeah I won't even bother to try Florahana now. So the French Lavender, Plant Therapy calls theirs Organic Lavender Fine, it's grown in high altitude in France it only is harvested a few months out of the year and because of that it has more therapeutic values. The best french lavender I have ever smelled and I truly love it is surprisingly a store brand , I have not done any research on the brand so I'm not sure of it's therapeutic values but just the smell alone is amazing and it instantly makes me at peace. It's called rareEssence, it's actually low altitude from Province region of France, it has lower ester content than high altitude so that may be what makes it smell better (to me). I put an Amazon link below so you can check it out if you like. Have a great day! www.amazon.com/dp/B014UUXBDS/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_qvpJEbBYDGE48

@@homoerotic85 Thanks for the info! I may have to put lavender fine on my next PT order to check it out. I see it's more expensive then the regular PT lavender so I will cherish it more haha. I appreciate you sharing that. And thanks for the link for your favourite French Lavender. I might look into that company one day!!🌿✌🏻

@@JessentialLife Your very welcome! Yeah I myself and going to look into rareEssence and see what they're about, I just know I like their lavender lol. :)
