Comprehensive profiles with therapeutic properties, safety data, chemistry, dilution rates, and application guidance.
Tuberose
Polianthes tuberosa
One of the most expensive and opulent floral absolutes in perfumery. Called the "Mistress of the Night" because its intoxicating scent intensifies after dark. Deeply sensual, narcotic, and heady. Extracted by enfleurage or solvent extraction.
Tulsi
Ocimum sanctum
Sacred adaptogenic herb of Ayurveda, also known as Holy Basil; eugenol-rich oil supporting immunity, respiratory health and spiritual practice. Requires careful dilution.
Turmeric
Curcuma longa
A warm, earthy oil with potent anti-inflammatory properties from its turmerone content, complementing the well-known curcumin found in the whole root.
Valerian
Valeriana officinalis
A powerful sedative essential oil distilled from the root of the ancient sleep herb. The pungent aroma is an acquired taste, but the relaxation and sleep support are unmatched among essential oils.
Vanilla CO2
Vanilla planifolia
A CO2 extract capturing the true, complex aroma of vanilla beans — far superior to synthetic vanillin. Rich in vanillin with deeply comforting, warming properties. One of the most universally loved scents. Excellent for emotional comfort and skincare.
Vetiver
Vetiveria zizanoides
A deeply grounding and calming essential oil distilled from the roots of a tropical grass. Renowned in aromatherapy for centering the mind, easing anxiety, and supporting restful sleep.
Violet Leaf
Viola odorata
A rare, green, intensely aromatic absolute with remarkable emotional properties. One of the most expensive aromatics. Known for its ability to help with grief and loss. Distinct from violet flower absolute.
Vitex (Chaste Tree)
Vitex agnus-castus
A hormone-balancing essential oil used traditionally for women's reproductive health. Helps regulate menstrual cycles and relieve PMS symptoms. Use with care due to hormonal effects.
Wintergreen
Gaultheria procumbens
Composed of approximately 98% methyl salicylate — essentially natural aspirin in concentrated form. Extremely effective for pain but carries significant toxicity risk. STRICT safety precautions required. Contraindicated with blood thinners.
Yarrow Blue
Achillea millefolium
Deep indigo-blue oil distilled from flowering tops, prized for its chamazulene content and powerful anti-inflammatory action on skin, joints, and wounds.
Ylang Ylang
Cananga odorata
An intensely sweet, exotic floral oil traditionally used as an aphrodisiac and for its ability to lower blood pressure and calm rapid heartbeat.
Yuzu
Citrus junos
