Vetiver EO

About this material

Vetiver essential oil opens with a rich, earthy aroma that has a slightly smoky undertone, reminiscent of damp soil and roots. As it develops, the scent reveals a green, woody character with a subtle sweetness that adds complexity. In a formula, vetiver acts as a grounding base note, providing depth and stability to compositions, particularly in woody and oriental fragrances. It pairs well with citrus notes to create a fresh contrast, and with florals for a more sophisticated blend. The typical dose in this catalogue is around 1.000%, making it a reliable choice for adding a natural, earthy quality to a wide range of scents.
