Vetiver Essential Oil
Medicinally, Vetiver is used to boost mood and create feelings of calmness when diffused or used in aromatherapy. Cosmetically, Vetiver is used to help nourish and enrich, making it great for moisturizing and evening out rough skin.
Vetiver grown in Indonesia, like that sold by Wholesale Botanics, is treasured for its intense, earthy, and smoky aroma, which distinguishes it from vetiver sourced from other regions like Haiti or India. The soil and climatic conditions in Indonesia impart a robust, rich character to the vetiver oil, making it especially sought after in perfumery for its depth and long-lasting base notes. Additionally, Indonesian vetiver often carries a slightly cooler, green note that adds complexity and freshness, appealing particularly to those looking for a bold and grounding scent profile.
Vetiver oil, known for its calming sesquiterpenes and grounding vetiverols, is a natural relaxant that may promote deep relaxation. Its soothing, earthy scent stabilizes emotions and fosters a sense of tranquility, making it a favorite in aromatherapy for alleviating tension.
We work with farms and producers in over 30 countries to support renewable harvest and grow practices.
Wholesale Botanics guarantees that this pure vetiver oil is undiluted, unadulterated, and contains no additional ingredients beyond the oil itself.
We have a 4.7/5 Trustpilot Rating.

Vetiver is a grass that thrives in sandy or clay soil and tropical/subtropical climates, and it is native to places like India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Malaysia. Growing to an average height of 1.5 meters, vetiver grass has long, tall stems with purple/brown flowers and rigid leaves. To make vetiver essential oil, the plant roots are usually aged first before being soaked in water. During this process, the oil is released and then skimmed off the surface of the water before being steam distilled.
Vetiver is a close cousin to other aromatic grasses such as citronella and lemongrass and is known for its smoky, woody and earthy aroma. The oil’s calming qualities make it great for us in aromatherapy, meditation, and topically on the skin. Its strong, distinctive aroma also makes it a popular ingredient in men’s cologne.
