Does anyone think their oil was adulterated? Is the taste significantly different from previous purchases?

I noticed with the third bottle I purchased the taste was significantly milder than the first two. I thought maybe it was just an isolated mistake, but the next one was really light and mild tasting as well. Looking for another brand. I want the darker, richer pure oil.

I don't, this is the brand I order on a regular basis and I have not notice any difference. I just placed a new order a few minutes ago. Once I get it I will let you know if there has been a change. I always order the 16oz.

the type with stronger taste is Turkish. The mild type is Indian. Companies switch depending on what is available but the label doesn'tindicate which was used. The stronger the taste the more of the active ingredient Thymoquinone or TQ.At this time I can't find any vendor who has Turkish.

No... This is my second time ordering this oil and so far the taste has been the same...
1320321
It is the first time I ever tried it so I don't know what it is suppose to taste like.

I have no way of proving the actual make up of this oil "BLACK SEED OIL" I would like maintain my trust in the company which actually makes this particular brand. After researching the oil through various health food stores, I felt confident the brand is in fact, genuinely pressed... Regaring the taste: I purchased this product ,the first time approximately one month ago. That was when I introduced my taste buds.... The taste is very pleasant. However, to answer your question pertaining the taste and differences purchase to purchase: Sorry,I have not an answer to your question.

This oil is much lighter than the oil I ordered from another vendor. It is light brown rather than dark brown. Is this the way it's supposed to look?

Mine looked more like a flower to me. Actually, I found the bottle unacceptable, as if the oil hardended, it was time consuming to warm it up to a more liquid state. Perhaps yours has a chunck of coconut shell???

This question came to me but I am not the one who sold you the doTERRA oil as I am not a distributor. I also purchased balance but had never had it before so I could not tell you if mine was not smelling correctly. However, I did purchase a doTERRA oil from a distributor on Amazon and the oil smelled badly. Amazon gave me a credit. I was thinking that some how the bottle was opened and the oil deteriorated but not sure. Try contacting the specific distributor. Good luck.

Absolutely not. The oil has most likely gone rancid. Personally, I would not use it. I would describe the smell as neutral although I expected it to smell like the roses from which it was extracted...neveretheless, it is neither floral smelling nor like roses.

I'm using capsules these days but I believe the oil was pure when I used it.

no, I had nothing like that in my bottle. The oil is smooth and nothing is floating. It has an organic, kind of nutty smell to it. I love this product. Maybe you got a bad batch? If there is such a thing. Perhaps you should return for a replacement? Not sure.

i didn't realize they changed their formula. if it's true that it's back to their original product, i'd give it another chance. i suppose the organic natural grocery stores might have something similar but i haven't shopped there recently. try the vanilla, it's my favorite.

You may be right. All I have used is the same oil. It was so cheap I will keep using it.

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.

Mine also smells like old cooking oil. I have purchased Now oils before with no problems but this one has a horrible smell.

No, but it's new. People in the reviews claiming that they thought the oil was expired said so bc the oil wasn't room temperature. When the oil gets cool, it solidifies. It confused some ppl into thinking it was bad. It's good as new once you run the bittle under warm water for a minute, or set under a lamp, or something. It's worth the hassle in the winter! :)I've had the same bottle now for about a year, and it's still good. I hope his helps.

No, and this is just ok oil, usable. I think I will choose another brand next time.

No mine does not. It sounds like it did not get filtered. Was it left in the heat / cold or open?If not, contact the vendor and ask for an exchange. This is very good oil and will make a tremendous difference for your skin.

The can pictured here- "Energy Pro" is the product that I have a recurring shipment of. I have been using it for about 5 years. Love it! I just tried the product in the "new" can. For some unspecified reason the most recent shipment contained "Energy Original". Not sure if the substitution is a mistake or a temporary sub, but the ingredients list is the same. I do notice a flavor shift-- seems to have less citrus taste. I like the Pro version better, though the difference is subtle. I hope this only a temporary condition- I will contact Amazon to find out.

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.

Mine doesn't taste the same at all. I can tell when the filter needs changed because of that. If I were you, I would check first to be sure the filter is inserted correctly.

I personally love the smell of PastTense. Have had mine for a long time and never noticed it getting an "off" smell. Not sure if oils can go bad either. I'd suggest emailing or calling DoTERRA directly and asking them to be sure. I've always gotten quality products from them.
