What factors influence the price of this white michelia oil?
The extremely low distillation yield (0.08–0.12%), fresh-flower supply and harvest season are the top drivers, followed by linalool grade, order volume and any certification or custom processing.
Price Drivers

| Linalool grade | ≥50% standard grade vs. premium high-linalool lots |
| Order volume | 5 kg / 25 kg brackets lower the unit price |
| Certification | Organic / Halal / Kosher add audit and processing cost |
| Food-grade spec | GB 1886.275 food-additive certification adds testing |
