Aromatherapists/perfumers trying to find out what an oil should be priced at..

I have some Vetiver essential oil here that’s like no other I’ve ever seen or smelled. It’s yellow/gold in color, and is the strongest, and sweetest I’ve ever encountered. It’s distilled from vetiver grown here in Hawaii. From what I understand, there’s a type from Reunion, that is called “liquid gold”, but I can’t find any info on it, let alone a price. So I have no idea what this is worth.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Vetiver E/O is worth about $20 per ounce.
Certified Organic Vetiver E/O is worth more – about $140 per ounce.

It is commonly harvested from places such as Southern India, Indonesia and Sri Lanka.

It is most commonly cultivated in Reunion, the Philippines, the Comoro Islands, Japan, West Africa and South America. Vetiver E/O is Steam Distilled from the root portion of the grass.

Hope this helps!
