So this is "comparable to doTerras's ON GUARD blend but it's about $30 cheaper? Can anyone testify if they noticed a difference between the two?

It has more Eucalyptus than YL.....the YL didn't work for me. It worked on cold sores and that was it. I wasn't impressed. On an impulse I decided to give another thieves brand a try. EdenS Garden DID work. I used for head congestion and coughing. 4 drops in a diffuser and 2 drops in 1 tblsp.grapeseed oil rubbed on chest and wrists....knocked it out. I like this 4 thieves better BECAUSE it has more lemon and eucalyptus than clove ( like YL). Clove is an angalesic which is great for numbing. For me the proof is in the pudding. EGs smelled a little differently yes....but it's the one that is effective and works for me against the one that does nothing for me. It has more Eucalyptus than YL.....the YL didn't work for me.

It's sorta hard to quantify but I've used them both now and I like this one just as much. Especially the price. Since buying this one, I've learned more about the company and now have quite a few more of their oils. Good stuff in my opinion.

Not sure about do terra but it replaced my bottle of thieves by their competitor.

Mine too. It is because it is a fake product. Diluted or even totally replaced by cheap carrier oil and mostly peppermint. I had a DoTerra rep look at mine, and it is definitely NOT their true product. the protective seal was broken on mine when it arrived as well. I will only purchase from a direct rep next time.

I have never used doTERRA Balance either, but I have used a lot of their other oils and bought them from Amazon. As far as I know they all smell the same. In fact, I have a bottle of Serenity bought from doTERRA website and a bottle of Serenity bought from Amazon and they are exactly the same - looks and smell.

I've purchased these blades via local retail and also online thru Amazon, and can't tell the difference. Like many other products, they may not be the same quality as something made 20 years ago, but to my knowledge there is no tiered production like some items (trail mix for example) that has one blend for retail sale and a lower quality blend for "club store" sales. I worked in the food industry years ago and was aware of how some things were marketed, but regarding hard items everything I have purchased from Amazon is the same exact item I would receive from another online or local retailer.

The price difference between Amazon and the price I pay for ordering from the La Prairie web site worries me too. Sellers usually claim that their low prices are from x,y,and z. Maybe, but I worry that Amazon may have bought at a lower price and obtained product that did not sell elsewhere--meaning that you won't get a fresh product. I'm not a chemist so I can't say in detail, but cosmetics do age just like all chemical mixtures. If somebody more knowledgeable comes up with something, I'd love to know. Elinor

A WHOLE lot cheaper. You can get approximately 64 servings out of the 4.9 lb. The RTD's are a little better tasting sometimes but not worth the cost difference IMO. I would buy a small container 1st to see if you like it. If you like it then buy the big container to save money. I mix mine with Almond Milk (Original) and it's really good. You can mix with water and regular milk if you like.

Hi Joan, I would buy sample if available here and go to a department store to test a bottle there and then compare the difference. This is my third cologne purchase online with amazon and its always way cheaper, however I will take my own advice next time.... I hope this helps. Also I live pretty close to a mall so it's pretty easy for me and I don't have to worry about money spent on gas...

To be honest, I'm not convinced. I have to tell you though, I wouldn't give this stuff to my worst enemy. There are other more quality brands out there. This one has some not so good stuff in it. Look into Urban moonshine maple flavored. 1000% better. I am not a rep for their product either. Just someone that has tasted both and threw this one out.

I have always been pleased with the blend. Quite honestly, with the dramatic cost difference, I have never invested in the 100% Kona.

I looked at it and I'm going to say no. Based on the differences in the price. Both 1oz but bug difference so I'm going to assume the other is not nearly as strong. I hope I'm looking at this the way you are.

I understand your question as I was wondering the same thing. One bottle of EO says it's Thieves 'Blend' on the label and the another bottle says Thieves. I presume they're are the same since they're both made by Young Living - just different or newer label.

I bought mine from Solis Aura (other sellers for $19.50 out of Utah). My bottle says Doterra made in Utah. Young Living is a totally different company so maybe there is a mistake on the description you mentioned under "Ingredients". Young Living melaleuca says Tea Tree, Melaleuca alternifolia on the front with a red label. Doterra product is amber colored bottle with green label for melaleuca. I've never ordered from "Do Essential Oils", so not familiar with that seller.

That is EXACTLY what I bought this for. I mix my OnGuard with Coconut oil. They work perfectly for doterra oils

It's so hard to tell on anything from DoTerra on amazon. Because Doterra is a direct sales company anything sold here is through Doterra distributors that are selling off their personal inventory or free products. It's hard to know if the oil you are getting has been tampered with (diluted or changed in some way). The prices they are sold here for are the same prices you can buy them for straight from Doterra with their $30 annual membership. For me it was better piece if mind just ordering straight from Doterra myself instead of benefiting a third party. That way nothing was in question and I know exactly what I'm getting.

Better than North American synthetic blends? I don't know. I purchased it because it is factory fill for Porsche & Ferrari and I drive a Porsche Boxster. I paid more than you. If you can get it cheaper than other synthetics, I would buy it. Hope that helps. GNG

I have not compared all ingredients in different brands. I LOVE the result of FEG. Thats why I would stick with it. Probably if renocia-el is not satisfying you then I can personally recommend FEG, but if it does what says on box then dont change, cause it will take good 8 weeks till new product will give visible results. I would not try smth new just for sake of it. good luck

I ddn't notice that when I ordered to be honest. I can say that I liked it and I should have ordered another month's supply. I switched to something else and hated making that choice. I plan to purchase this product again in the very near future. It may not be for everyone but I would say try it out and see for yourself. It's not bad tasting or anything like that and it only takes a few seconds to mix. Post your thoughts once you try it so I can see if you agree with me. Thanks for asking.
