I've had a few from Oils4life and they seemed OK. Never had to re-order so no idea if they are consistent though!

Are you really talking about fenugreek EO? Most EO suppliers I know do only supply fenugreek oleoresins. The only f
Products I found claiming to be fenugreek EO were quite unaffordable

I used to have a few favourites, Cinnamon, Geranium, Fenugreek, Clove, Eucalyptus and Black Pepper.

The problem now as others have said is getting consistent quality. Aromatherapy oils are often mixed with a carrier oil, so are worth avoiding. It really is a case of looking to get the purest oils available, and when you do, don't overload them. Levels used for each oil can be very different. One drop may be too much in a 6 egg mix, yet other oils can work as high as a millilitre for the same.

Must be some strength to be less than a drop in a 6 egg, what was that and where were you sourcing?

I have purchased many many essential oils over the years and about 6 months ago I took a plunge and tried a big company online for a few samples. They sent me a copy of an EO I hadn't seen before and when it arrived I found it wasn't actually and essential oil at all but a condensed flavour. It transpires that it is actually a bloody good flavour that smells and tastes (to me) incredible. I made some hookbaits using it and it has scored me a huge winter carp plus several 30s when all has failed. Funny how fate works

Some wonderful discoveries happen like this with all manner of things, got to take advantage as you have, I dread to think of some of the things I let pass me by only to get a right slap in the face years later!

Yes I saw a sample of calanus several years ago in our shop and pushed it to one side as we had just seen hydro shrimp that had just arrived and been tested. Calanus turned out be very effective! Essential oils is a bit of a minefield but as with most things, one or two of them seem to have Mileage and need investigating
