VETIVER OIL

Vetiver oil is loved for its rich, exotic and complex aroma. The oil is steam-distilled from the dried and washed roots of the Vetiveria zizanioides grass. Its extensive historical use has kept the material in high demand almost everywhere. Beyond its utility as a fixative ingredient, vetiver is extremely popular among high-class perfumers, especially those developing woody, amber, or other masculine fragrances. The oil is used extensively in perfumes as a base note and fixative, vetiver’s woody, earthy scent complements many other essential oils.
