Butter Essential Oil - CO2 Extracted (Butyrate)
- Made from anhydrous milk fat. Animal in origin, not a plant oil, and sourced from Europe.
- The smell of fresh butter. Rich and buttery, just what the name says, without the thin edge of a synthetic version.
- A little goes a long way. It works low in the mix, deepening a sweet or floral blend without taking it over. See it in a blend.
- An oil we use ourselves. Butter is an ingredient in our Cinnamon Bun blend.
- Third-party tested. Like all our oils, it goes to an outside lab, screened for adulteration, synthetics and pesticides.
- A rare, hard-to-find material. The same extract in every size; pick the bottle that suits you on the Compare tab. Compare sizes.

Butter, the CO2 extract of milk fat
6 benefits of Butter Essential Oil
A true butter note
Butter CO2 is real butter caught as a scent, not a synthetic note built in a lab. The extraction takes the smell straight from the butterfat, so it reads round and honest where a synthetic version reads thin and sharp. For a perfumer after the genuine thing, that difference is the whole point.
An anchor for a gourmand blend
This oil works as an anchor, the deep part of a blend that holds lighter notes in place and pulls the whole thing together. A trace deepens a gourmand or floral accord and makes it last, where too much would flatten it. Perfumers lean on butter CO2 where a blend needs weight without another wood or resin.
At home in gourmand accords
Butter CO2 sits happily inside sweet, warm accords, rounding vanilla, cocoa, coffee and cinnamon into something fuller. It reads as the buttery layer in a gourmand blend, the part that makes the whole thing feel richer. Keep it small and it lifts the sweet notes rather than covering them.
A creamy floor under white florals
Under white florals, this oil lays down a creamy floor that rounds jasmine, neroli and ylang ylang. It softens the sharp top of a big floral and gives it a warm, lasting undertone. A little is plenty, since the butter reads loudest when it is quietest.
A rare find for the collector
Few materials on a shelf of plant oils are as rare as butter turned into a pure scent, which is why it is one of the rare oils we keep and turns up so seldom. Almost no one makes an oil like this, so a bottle is the kind of find a collector goes looking for. It sits with the hard-to-find oils we carry for people who know the difference.
A trace in the diffuser
In the diffuser, a trace of butter CO2 is plenty, because the scent is strong and a little reads across a whole room. Start lower than you would with any other oil, and add a touch more only if the room can take it. It fills the air with warm butter without turning heavy.
How to use
Diffuser
In the airStart with just 1 to 2 drops in a water diffuser for a medium room, because butter CO2 is strong and carries fast. Run the diffuser for 30 to 60 minutes, then rest the room for the same time with fresh air moving. Add a single drop more only once you know how far it reaches.
In a blend
BlendingAdd butter CO2 a drop at a time into a warm gourmand or a soft floral accord, checking the balance until it deepens without standing out. When it goes into a carrier oil for a wearable scent, keep the whole blend to 1 to 3 percent, lower on the face, and patch test first. We never use this oil neat on skin.
Good to know
SafetyBecause it is made from butter, anyone allergic to it should avoid this oil or use it with care. It is not for internal use of any kind. Store it somewhere cool and dark, away from heat and light, and keep it out of reach of children.

1 dropButter CO2
3 dropsVanilla CO2
2 dropsCoffee CO2
2 dropsBergamot
Method. Add the drops to a water diffuser and let it run until the room fills, then give it a rest. The vanilla and coffee carry the sweetness while the bergamot lifts the top, so the butter sits underneath as the deep, round note. Start on the low side and open a window if the room fills fast.
30 mlJojoba Carrier Oil
1 dropButter CO2
3 dropsNeroli
2 dropsYlang Ylang Complete
Method. Combine the drops in the jojoba in a small roller bottle and shake it well. Roll a little onto the wrist, where the neroli and the ylang ylang bloom on top and the butter holds them close as they warm. Cap it, store it away from sunlight, and use it within a few months.

Frequently asked questions
7 answers drawn from the product specification and our own use of this oil.
Butter CO2 smells like fresh butter, rich and round, with a soft, creamy note that lingers instead of turning sharp. It reads as one steady scent rather than something that opens and dries down, and a small amount carries right across a room.
Yes, this is real butter, captured as a CO2 extract, not a synthetic butter note. The CO2 process pulls the scent right out of the butterfat, so it smells like the true thing where a lab-made version smells flat. What you get is the honest material, animal in origin and nothing added.
Butter CO2 is a CO2 extract of milk fat, not an oil taken from a plant, so 'essential oil' is only a loose label here. It takes the 'butter' name because it is an extract of dairy butter. The '(Butyrate)' in the title comes from butyric acid, the fatty acid first found in butter and named after the Greek for it. Perfumers and suppliers list the material as Butyrum.
No, butter CO2 is not vegan, since it comes from dairy milk fat. It is an animal-origin material, the only oil on the shelf here that does not come from a plant.
No, keep butter CO2 away if you have a dairy allergy, or use it only with care, since it comes from milk fat. It is also not for internal use, and on the skin it is always diluted, never neat.
Yes, butter CO2 can turn over time like any oil, so keep it in a cool, dark cupboard, out of heat and sunlight. Keep the cap closed tight and it will hold its scent much longer. There is no need to refrigerate it.
Butter CO2 blends well with vanilla, cocoa and coffee, the sweet, warm partners it was made to sit under. Keep it to a trace under sweeter or floral blends, since a little carries a long way.
