Our Hydrodiffused Vetiver oil has a herbaceous, earthy, woody aroma. Vetiver oil is said to be a nice, calming addition to meditation and relaxation blends. For natural perfume, Vetiver oil's aroma works well in both feminine and masculine blends. It blends well with Clary Sage, Cedarwood, Myrrh, and Angelica Root.
A native of the Far East, vetiver comes from a Tamil word meaning “hatcheted up,” which is a description of how the roots are collected. The plant is a tall grass, but it’s the root that is valued for its long-lasting, woody scent and medicinal properties. Vetiver is believed to provide safety (and financial resources), and rituals involving the root are said to seal off the body from negative energy. The plant is also important in nature. The deep roots help stabilize land and provide life-giving nutrients to even the most barren soils.

Pure Essential Oils
All our essential oils are premium grade, alcohol-free, phthalate-free, and undiluted. They are 100% pure, and sourced only from the most reputable distributors. We work hard to ensure that your perfume ingredients are top-quality, highly concentrated, and will mix neatly with both alcohol and oil bases. These are not ready to wear as fragrances – they MUST be diluted before applying directly to skin. It is always a good idea to do a patch test for allergies, even with natural materials. And of course – do not eat the oils. No matter how yummy they may smell.
Note: Although these are phthalate-free and 100% natural, they are NOT non-toxic. Don't eat them. Don't drink them. Patch test on skin. Dilute before wearing.
