Vetiver Essential Oil (JAVA)

Rated 5.00 out of 5 based on 4 customer ratings
 (4 customer reviews)

Adam Michael has this to say “Smelling this Vetiver Java Essential Oil, on the strip or from the bottle, the aroma is warm clay, baked earth, red soil, with subtle dirty barnyard vibes. More of the same at the start of the heart before strong candied peppermint-chocolate nuances start to appear. The fresh menthol aspects are also found in the base notes along with weed like green notes.

Now you may think none of the above sounds overly thrilling and I would agree. If all I got from this material was what I found within the strip and bottle evaluation I would not be too fussed about this material, rating it a 6 out of 10. BUT, and it’s a huge mammoth proportions type of “but”, …… applied to the skin, this young Javanese material does a Clark Kent, changes out of the office clothes, puts on a cape, turns into Superman and soars into the clouds and inspires us all.

Crazy, hype, nonsense I hear you say, but no, it is true. And here is why, applied to the skin, this specific batch of Javanese vetiver essential oil is something that would make you think you where smelling the super pricey vetiver Heart. So diffusive, warm, dry, leather, baked earth, precious woods galore, cedar overtones, musk and sexy green qualities, this is as masculine as an aroma gets, a perfume in its own right.

If you want to create something smouldering, something with a real raw primitive sex appeal in the base, then look no further, seriously, this is that material. Of course this material is also a must for developing moss notes, making heavy Oriental inspired scents, works wonders when building fantasy themed rose bases, pairs especially well with nagarmotha, is a must regarding oud recreations, generally offers great fixative value and is just a great material. But remember, it only turns into Superman when you apply it to your skin.”

    It took me a long time to properly appreciate this unusual oil.
    The aroma of this oil is very complex, variable, multi-layered. It has dry woody and earthy notes, leather and mint nuances, hints of nuts, coffee and dark chocolate. If we talk about sweet notes (which, in my opinion, are few), they are more reminiscent of dried prunes. The green notes are reminiscent of Ruh Khus, woody – Himalayan cedar. It also has musky and peppery notes, and, I think, tints of maple syrup.
    Javanese Vetiver will be a great addition to any perfume collection!

    Currently this is my favourite Vetiver, at least for the combinations Im using it in. I agree totally with the description, in that it will probably be most use to most people in masculine fragrances or products. However do not underestimate its incredible usefulness in unisex fragrances or those for women. For instance, in tiny amounts this Java vetivert combined mainly with Labdanum S.P, Jasmine Abs and Sambac, Ylang Ylang Absolute and Neroli smells absolutely incredible on my wife.

    I just can’t get enough of these Vetivers. I hope to own the entire Hermitage collections of these one day as they are just stunning. Tbh, I’m not a huge chocolate fan, but the chocolate notes in here that lace around old smelling leather and woods create an oil that feels almost opulent and indulgingly rich. Very much what I see an old school distinguished gentlemen’s fragrance to smell like…but now it’s the new school distinguished unisex perfume bc as a woman I’m quite taken with it and will most definitely be wearing it this winter <3
    Also john2, thanks for sharing some more ideas for what to pair with this! I was definitely thinking of trying this with some jasmine but will give ylang ylang and neroli a shot too and see how it goes! <3
