Ho Wood vs. Clary Sage vs. Lavender, Do You Experience Any Difference for Calming or Sleep?

I'm wondering how the relaxing essential oils compare that have Linalool vs. Linalyl Acetate compare. Has anyone tried these and been able to tell the difference? Ho Wood has about 99% Linalool but no Lanalyl Acetate. Clary Sage has about 20% Linalool and 60% Linalyl Acetate. Lavender has about equal amounts of both around 30/30 or 40/40. Ho Wood is quite cheap for a lot of Linalool. I presume these oils are being applied topically with a carrier oil for good effect.

I found these two videos on Linalool and Linalyl Acetate, but it didn't really help with the comparison. I did learn that if taken orally that Linalyl Acetate will by hydrolyzed into Linalool.

I would also be curious how these compare to something like Vetiver or Pink Peppercorn, the latter having lots of Myrcene.
