PerfuMate › IFRA limits › Vetiver oil
How much Vetiver oil can you put in a perfume?
no Category 4 limit reached
IFRA's 51st Amendment has no Category 4 limit that Vetiver oil reaches: by the catalog's composition, Vetiver Absolute stays inside every limit even as the whole perfume.
The rest of the formula still counts, and a real batch can differ from the typical composition, so check the whole formula.
Grade by grade
Each grade in PerfuMate's catalog, read through its typical composition by the calculator's engine:
| Material | Held by | At most, of the perfume | At 18%, of the concentrate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vetiver Absolute | no limit reached | ||
| Vetiver Bourbon Essential Oil | no limit reached | ||
| Vetiver Essential Oil | no limit reached |
Shares are the catalog's typical values. A real batch varies with origin and season, and your supplier's analysis (GC-MS or certificate of analysis) is the real figure.
Questions
Is Vetiver oil restricted by IFRA?
Not in Category 4 in the 51st Amendment, by the catalog's composition. Every other material in the formula is still checked.
Does this limit apply to candles or soap?
No. This is Category 4, fine fragrance on skin. Other products sit in other IFRA categories with other limits, which these pages and the calculator do not cover.
