Its very difficult to know if your essential oil is true or not. Basically there are three ways to know:

1. Buy from a local supplier that takes the essential oil business seriously and has genuine concern to their customers. They will even educate you about essential oils. It would even be better if you can buy from the essential oil producers themselves.

2. Smell the essential oil. Essential Oils supposedly smells like the raw material where they come from. Example, ginger essential oil should smell like real ginger. If your ginger essential oil smells like something else, there must be something wrong.

3. Check the price. Essential Oils don't come cheap. Some are really very expensive. A good indicator is price. If its priced too low, it can be a fragrance oil or very low quality essential oil.
