10 ml Vetiver Essential Oil
Vetiver Essential Oil — 10ml
Vetiver — known in India as ‘the oil of tranquillity’ and in Sri Lanka as ‘the fragrant grass’ — is one of the most deeply grounding and complex aromatics in the natural world. Steam-distilled from the roots of Vetiveria zizanioides, a tall grass native to tropical Asia, it yields a thick, dark oil with a rich, earthy, smoky, woody aroma that deepens and evolves over time. It has been used in Ayurvedic medicine, traditional perfumery, and sacred ritual across India, Indonesia, and the Caribbean for thousands of years, and remains a cornerstone of oriental and chypre fragrance compositions.
