Attention!

Before purchasing, read all information below and the general product information.
Not intended for use in food, vape liquids or other internal use.
Intended to be mixed with other fragrances: on its own the scent can be boring or even unpleasant.
Do not use undiluted on the skin: it is a raw material, not a final product.

Use

Essential oil Vetiver Java has a strong spicy scent with aspects of wood, earth and tar in addition to green elements. It is a strongly scented substance, which often becomes stronger after maturing and can dominate the perfume. In addition, it is a syrupy substance that can thicken over time. Making a dilution of 10%, for example, can be useful, for example in TEC or DPG. It goes well with many other scents, but especially with woody scents. The combination of vetiver and rose scent (often also with cedar wood) is classic. You usually use between 0,1% and 3% of this substance in the fragrance composition. It is mainly a base note in perfumes and is stable in most products, including soap.

Store in a cool, dry and dark place.

Properties

Vetiver Java essential oil is a yellow-brown to black, syrupy liquid at room temperature. The substance has a very long shelf life: the expiration date is more to indicate that the scent can change over time, as well as the colour and syrupiness. However: the scent of old vetiver oil is generally rated higher, so definitely do not throw this oil away if the expiration date has passed. The oil is made by steam distillation from the roots of Chrysopogon zizanioides (L.) Roberty, although the old botanical name Vetiveria zizanioides is also used for this tropical grass species.

Like every essential oil, this one is also a mixture of various substances. An indication of the composition is the following:
> 25 % - Vetiverol
10-25 % - Khusimol, Vetivene
5-10 % - alpha Vetivone, beta Vetivone, Vetiveryl acetate, Vetiveryl vetiverate
2-5 % - Benzoic acid, Terpinene-4-ol, Valerenol

For all raw materials, but certainly the more natural ones, the smell, colour and other properties can vary within a certain bandwidth from batch to batch and over time.
