Our Vetiver Oil is steam distilled from the thin, long, dense roots of the highly aromatic Vetiveria zizanoides grass growing wild in the Haitian countryside. Vetiver Essential Oil is an amber colored, thick essential oil possessing a subtle but sweet, smoky, resin-like aroma; the intensity and complexity of aroma makes this an outstanding base note possessing a very lush dry down. Although it may be the world's most commonly used perfume fixative - an effective base note that holds lighter top notes to the skin - Vetiver is in itself an extremely healing oil to the body and the mind.
Vetiver is a uniquely valuable plant to the aroma industry not only for its cherished scent but as a healer of the earth. It is an easily propagated plant used for regenerating damaged topsoils. Because the grass has a special appetite for pesticides and agricultural toxins, it is used in over a hundred countries for phyto-remediation purposes, helping to cleanse the environment and for reducing erosion with its abundant latticework of rootlets.
Vetiveria zizanoides is composed of atleast 150 mostly sesquiterpene constituents; three in particular - khusimol, alpha-vetivone and beta-vetivone - are thought of as the fingerprint of the oil and are responsible, in large part, for the characteristic odor and pharmacological properties of Vetiver. Because its chemical properties are a function of the soil it is grown in, each batch of Vetiver Oil will have fragrance variations that are unique and subtle.
