How does the smell of DoTerra Frankincense differ from Young Living's Frankincense?

Do Terra Frankincense smells like Pine Tree sap but I am not familiar with Young Livings Frankincense

Oh you bet it's not the same. This is a question for the fragrance vendor, not the purchaser. What I received smelled like insect repellant and was thrown away.

I can answer my own question now, since I just received my order. In short, it smells like the ingredients: spearmint, peppermint, and rosemary oil... mild smell, and not bothersome at all. I thought that the product had urine in it (based on the description with the newer package Amazon listings), but there is NO urine. This older packaging shown seemed to have better ratings on Amazon than the new package, but the manufacturer says the ingredients have been the same (at least since 2008 by the online MSDS sheet). Of note, I received the 28.5 oz jug (new package) and not the 20 oz (old package) with my order. I can answer my own question now, since I just received my order.

I received a sample of Balance from a doTerra rep but I purchase all my oil on Amazon. Both the one from the rep and Amazon smelled the same.

The smell is like menthol with a herbal extract. Much more pleasant smelling then Ben-gay and others i have tried.

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.

Ya know, it kinda does smell similar. Of course TTO I have is more concentrated so it smells stronger. You should know that I chose not to order BSO again, I switched to reishi mushrooms for my, "uh ummm, insides"...lol

The two products smell the same because they both have Neem oil as their primary ingredient. I have both types so it was easy to make a comparison.

I too am a DoTerra Oil user. If the Young Living Oils are designed to diffused, then they would be fine in this diffuser. If your oils are not for diffusing, then I would not use them in any diffuser. This is a cool mist diffuser.

It smells like CEDAR. Sweet? Woodsy?I have had stronger smelling CEDAR. I guess it depends on how much Cedar Oil they put into it and/or how much filler.

There is no comparison. This smells like motor oil. I put doterra frankincense on my face every day. I wouldn't put this on myour feet.

Yes, It smells different (better). Also not as oily as the product sold in the tube which is made in U.S.A.

I've not noticed a huge difference. This is totally my favorite scent, but tends to smell differently on each person. I honestly don't think new packaging makes a difference.

Lavender & Sage has a brighter, slightly stronger scent. I would have gone with the Cedarwood, except my son was there when I was smelling the store testers and he insisted the Lavender one smelled good and the other one did not. :-)

No difference. It is the same fragrance. I think it depends on where and/or when it is packaged.

Yes. It is a woodsy scent, kind of like the liquor Chartreuse, but less potent. I happen to like the smell, but my wife does not. Whether you love the scent or not, it dissipates within 15-20 minutes of application.

Yes all of my oils are therapeutic grade oils. I was taught that if you couldn't safely ingest the oil you should not put it on your skin as your skin is the biggest organ. This particular frankincense is steamed distilled. For more info on it look at the plant therapy site. I generally use young living products as I know they are all very good quality or go to a local shop that specializes in essential oils and have them mix me up something. Remember to look at where the plant is coming from when ordering because they smell differently. For example my YL frankincense is Boswellia carter and the Plant Therapy is Boswellia Serrata. Though the smell is similar I think the plant therapy has a little lighter and sweeter smell.
