Description

Vetiver Oil CO2 is a natural aromatic extract obtained from the roots of vetiver (Chrysopogon zizanioides) using supercritical carbon dioxide extraction.

Vetiver is one of the most important natural materials in perfumery and is valued for its distinctive combination of woody, earthy, smoky, rooty, dry and balsamic facets. The CO₂ extraction method can provide a rich and rounded interpretation of the natural root, making it useful for sophisticated woody and earthy fragrance compositions.

Vetiver Oil CO2 is especially valuable in woody, earthy, smoky, chypre, fougère, amber and oriental fragrances. It can provide a strong and persistent foundation while also adding complexity and natural character to the overall composition.

Perfumers' Tip

Vetiver Oil CO2 is excellent for creating a deep, natural and sophisticated woody foundation. Combine it with Bergamot and Lemon for a classic fresh-vetiver direction, or pair it with Patchouli and Oakmoss for a darker chypre character.

For a modern woody base, combine Vetiver CO2 + Iso E Super + Ambroxan + Cedarwood. Cardamom and Black Pepper can add a fresh spicy lift, while Sandalwood can soften the dry rooty character.

Natural-material note: Vetiver CO₂ extracts can differ substantially in odor, color and composition depending on the origin and processing of the roots. For your commercial product page, confirm the exact botanical species, plant part, origin, extraction method and supplier specification.
