Aura Cacia Organic Essential Oil, Vetiver, 0.25 Fluid Ounce

I used YL Vetiver for years. I o ly wish I tried Aura's sooner, as one cannot tell the difference in both rich texture and fragrance. Aura's price is amazing. Highly recommend.

I have tested 10 brands of Vetiver and this is my current favorite. Good vetiver is as thick as molasses. If it's thinner it isn't as good. To dispense it you can use an eyedropper to replace the inner dropper, or use the eye dropper to suck it from the inner dropper. This oil is hard to mix with water, too. I premix it with warm water or other oils. The scent is smokey and earthy - much like a peat fire or the taste of Scotch (which comes from the peat fire used to roast the barley). I like the scent enough that I use it alone, but it is usually added to blends as a base note and in a ratio lower than other oils. As an example I use 9 drops of Sandalwood and 1 drop of vetiver in a waterless diffuser. My wife doesn't like the scent of Vetiver and isn't a huge fan of Sandalwood, but she loves this combination. I also make a hand soap I love with 1 Cup Evolved by Nature hand soap, 80 drops Uh-Roh-Muh Sandalwood and 10 drops VSA Vetiver. The other Vetiver to try is SVA - from Haiti.

I love vetiver oil. Dont get me wrong-this is pretty good oil. However the scent is a little different then other Vetiver ive gotten. However it works well for what it's worth. It does take awhile for it to come out. Thats because it's supposed to be thick. Simply put the bottle upside for awhile.

I'm a little obsessed with Vetiver. I have 4 different colognes that feature vetiver. I've purchased several different "brands" of vetiver essential oils. And I've finally decided to plant some vetiver on my property so I can eventually try my hand at distilling my own oil. Of all the essential oils I've tried, this one is the best. This is the real stuff. Is it a little pungent? YES. It's supposed to be. Is it a little too thick to come out of the bottle as compared to other essential oils. YES. That happens. It's not a sign of something wrong with this product. It's the opposite. It's an indication that this manufacturer is not cutting any corners or diluting their product. If you want real vetiver essential oil, you've found it. If you want something that doesn't smell quite like vetiver or that's thinner for ease of use, there are lots of fake products out there, but this one isn't among them. As a person low-key obsessed with vetiver, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product.I ordered a second bottle and got Vanilla instead of Vetiver. Came in a sealed bag marked Vetiver, but the bottle had a vanilla label and it was vanilla inside. Amazon made it right, so no need to deduct any stars from this product. Just adding an update.

You can tell this is the real deal. I mixed with carrier oil, it barely comes out if you don't.
