Take note that this is the price for aromatherapy grade ( read "junk". It may well be pure oil, but oil of what?). The lucrative market that everyone is chasing is the perfumers. They buy by very stringent specification but relationships are also very important. If they don't like you they will go elsewhere, and this is one area where your FW may be of some use. I believe that the price direct from distiller for "in specification" spicatum oil is around $2k. Album may be a bit higher but not much.
