Frequently Asked Questions
Is Vetiver Oily's vetiver oil pure? ▾
Yes. Every bottle is bottled 100% pure and undiluted, with nothing added and nothing removed. You can review our published Certificate of Analysis for the exact batch details behind the bottle you receive.
Is this Vetiveria zizanioides, and how does it differ from other rooty base oils? ▾
Yes, our oil is distilled solely from Vetiveria zizanioides, the tropical grass grown specifically for its root system. Unlike lighter root oils such as ginger, vetiver is thick, slow-pouring, and far more earthy and smoky, which is why perfumers use it as a heavy base note rather than a top or middle accent.
What does vetiver essential oil smell like, and what does it blend with? ▾
Vetiver has a deep, earthy, and smoky-sweet aroma with a rooty richness that settles low in any blend. It pairs beautifully with sandalwood, patchouli, lavender, bergamot, and rose, where it acts as a grounding base note that helps lighter, brighter scents last longer.
How should I dilute vetiver oil for skin use? ▾
Vetiver is highly concentrated, so dilute it to between 0.5% and 2% in a carrier oil such as jojoba or sweet almond before applying to skin. Always patch test on a small area first, and because it is thick and slow-pouring, warming the carrier oil slightly can help it blend in evenly.
What sizes do you offer, and can I buy vetiver oil wholesale? ▾
We offer nine sizes of vetiver essential oil, ranging from a 0.5 oz bottle up to a 400 lb drum. That full range, including the 5 lb and 25 lb options, makes it easy to order exactly what you need, whether you're trying a single bottle or buying wholesale for a business.
Does the price per ounce go down when I buy a larger size? ▾
Yes. Per-ounce cost falls steadily as size increases, since larger containers spread packaging and handling costs across far more oil. Our 400 lb drum works out to less than half the per-ounce price of our 0.5 oz bottle, which makes the bigger sizes especially cost-effective for formulators and resellers buying in volume.
Which size should I choose? ▾
The 0.5 oz or 1 oz bottle is a good starting point if you're new to vetiver or testing it in a blend. The 2 oz to 8 oz range suits regular diffuser and skincare use, while the 16 oz bottle and larger sizes fit soap makers, candle makers, and perfumers going through oil steadily.
What is your shipping policy? ▾
Orders ship within 1 to 2 business days. Standard shipping is free on orders over $39, and bulk sizes of 5 lbs and up may need extra handling time before they leave our facility. Checkout is handled securely through our Shopify store.
Why do perfumers value vetiver so highly? ▾
Vetiver's dense root system yields a thick, slow-pouring oil that acts as a natural fixative, meaning it helps hold lighter, more volatile scents in a blend and keeps them from fading quickly. That deep, earthy, smoky-sweet base is part of why perfumers reach for it again and again in lasting compositions.
