What part of the vetiver plant is the oil made from?

Unlike citrus oils pressed from the peel or floral oils distilled from petals, vetiver is steam distilled from the plant’s root system. Distilling the roots is why the oil carries such a deep, earthy character and a heavier body than most other essential oils.

Why is vetiver oil so thick and hard to pour?

A high viscosity is natural to root-distilled oils and is not a fault. If the oil is difficult to pour, warm the bottle in your hands or stand it in warm water for a few minutes and it will flow more easily.

What is the difference between vetiver and patchouli oil?

Both are earthy base notes used to anchor perfume blends, but they smell distinct. Vetiver is drier, smokier and woodier, while patchouli is sweeter and muskier. Many blenders use the two together for depth.

How should I store vetiver essential oil?

Keep it tightly sealed in its amber glass bottle, away from heat and direct light. Stored well, the scent of vetiver often matures and deepens over time rather than fading quickly.

Can vetiver essential oil be sent overseas or by express post?

No. Because it is classified as a Dangerous Good, this product cannot be sent overseas or via express post within Australia. It ships by standard delivery within Australia only.

Is vetiver essential oil food grade?

Range Products supplies vetiver oil for aromatherapy, perfumery, soap and cosmetic making, not as a food or flavouring product. Use it for scent and craft applications rather than culinary ones.
