I tried other manufacturers' vetiver and my first reaction was ... man, that kind of stinks!. The true vetiver is a very unique odor that has a peppery smell, and to some people it smells a lot like a freshly opened bag of dried pinto beans with a hint of green peppercorn. I have great results combined with frankincense and a little lemon. Unique, masculine, and kept light it makes a nice man's shaving soap or lotion. This is a REALLY nice vetiver.

I ordered this in 2010 and it was heady and faintly sweet-- reminiscent of oud or amber. My 2015 re-order had the barnyard note that these type oils sometimes have. Disappointing but it still makes a good base/fixative.

I like the smell of the EO. Blended with bergamot eo it makes for a nice fragrance for men. Maybe not for everyone but I like it!

Yikes! I thought this Vitiver was absolutly aweful. It smelled like burnt charred wood. Campfire smoke. Not the deep soothing woody earth tone I was looking for. I used in anyway hoping if it blended with some other oils and diffused it would be helpful but the over welming funkyness of this oil just over powered everything I used it in. pee-yew!

Used a few drops of this EO to bolster the fragrance of the Vetyver fragrant oil for just the right blend for a body splash cologne. Ended up with EXACTLY the strength and aroma I was attempting to make... similar to one of the "known commercial colognes" only much lighter and less intrusive... only those I sit next to or hug know I have it on!

Absolutely love vetiver & can not live without it! This is a nice dark vetiver which I greatly prefer to some of the lighter colored vetivers on the market.
