Amber Vetiver Fragrance Oil
A citrus woody amber — orange, tangerine, musk, patchouli, sandal, vetiver, amber.
The scent
Amber Vetiver opens with a juicy burst of orange and tangerine — bright and citrusy, with a clean musk running underneath from the very start. Patchouli, sandal and vetiver build through the heart, shifting the fragrance from fresh citrus into something earthier and more complex. Rich amber and lingering musk settle into the base, pulling everything together into a warm, woody drydown with real depth and staying power. It’s a confident, unisex fragrance with broad appeal — the citrus top makes it accessible, while the vetiver and patchouli heart give it enough character to stand out in a crowded market. A strong performer for autumn and winter ranges, reed diffusers and premium candle collections.

Can I use Amber Vetiver in an electric diffuser or oil burner?
Yes.
- Electric water diffusers (ultrasonic or humidifier style) – fill the tank with water to the line, then add 3–5 drops per 100ml of water. Start low and add more to taste.
- Oil burners – mix 50/50 with dipropylene glycol (DPG), or add a few drops to water in the well.
Important – look after your diffuser:
- Fragrance oils are concentrated, and some plastics used in diffuser tanks can soften, cloud or crack if oil is left sitting in them. This depends on the plastic the diffuser is made from. It happens with any concentrated fragrance or essential oil, not just ours.
- Empty the tank when you’ve finished. Don’t leave water and oil sitting in it between uses.
- Rinse and wipe the tank every few uses, as fragrance oils can leave a film.
- Check your diffuser’s instructions to make sure it is suitable for fragrance oils. If it says essential oils only, or doesn’t say, ask the maker before using it.
How do I use the 100ml bottles?
They include a blind plug to prevent leaks in transit. Either pierce the centre with a pin or biro to use it as a dropper, or remove the stopper, pour, and replace the plug.
