VETIVER
Vetiver is a complex, earthy, and woody fragrance note with deep green, smoky, and slightly rooty characteristics. It has a rich, intense aroma that is simultaneously clean, sharp, and grounding. The scent is reminiscent of damp soil, grass, and roots, with a sophisticated dry and woody undertone that provides depth and complexity.
Origin & Extraction
Vetiver is derived from the roots of Vetiveria zizanioides, a tall grass native to India and Indonesia. The roots are harvested, cleaned, and then steam-distilled to extract the essential oil. The extraction process involves cutting, washing, and drying the roots before distillation, which helps concentrate its unique earthy and woody aroma.
