One can buy NOW brand geranium oil, for $11.46/ounce and that is essential in form, and requires dilution. So it will last a while at that price. (price quote from iherb.com)
Since we really don't know what the ingredients of the oil from
Reunion are, there is no way to evaluate it. No ingredients and no address of this "scientific company".. = AVOID IMO.

Don't be coy ... the patent number is 5,260,313 dated 11/9/1993.
The inventor clearly states:
>>A variety of species of geranium plants exist throughout the world, with most having approximately the same chemical constituents in the extracted oil. However, one species which grows almost uniquely in the Reunion Islands, Pelargonium graveolens, Ait., has a unique chemical composition. <<
Gee ... that doesn't sound like any old geranium oil will do to me.
