Clevenger's apparatus is widely used for isolating essential oils from plant tissues. If facilities exist in your laboratory hydro-distil a sample of your plant material to check the presence and yield f the essential oil in the test plant.
Yes, odour is not proportional to yield of EO, so at filed it may be difficult to decide, by distillation in Clavenger's apparatus you will get an idea of the quantity of EO in %w/w of v/w.
Sometimes it may not be possible to isolate the EO using Clevenger trap as the compounds may be thermo-degradable for this reason some flowers like jasmine and tuberose are extracted with solvents to yield concentrates.
Extacting oil from plants is a techincal issue best performed in a laboratory using Clevenger's apparatus. However, there are plants that the fluid in their back when felt shows theh contain oil as the oil content in them get glued to the finger like grease.
