Vetiver (India)

Vetiver from India is known for its deep, earthy, and woody aroma with subtle smoky and grassy undertones. This variety of vetiver has a rich and robust scent profile that adds depth and complexity to perfumes, evoking warmth and an organic, grounding quality. Indian vetiver is often used as a base note, providing long-lasting richness and an exotic character to fragrance compositions. It blends beautifully with spices, florals, and other woody notes, creating sophisticated and balanced perfumes.

History & Production: Vetiver essential oil is extracted from the roots of the Chrysopogon zizanioides plant, which thrives in the tropical climate of India. The roots are harvested, cleaned, and dried before undergoing steam distillation to produce the essential oil, capturing its distinctive, earthy scent. India has a long history of using vetiver for its aromatic and cooling properties, traditionally in mats, fans, and natural perfumes. In modern perfumery, Indian vetiver continues to be highly regarded for its rich, grounding fragrance that lends depth and elegance to a wide range of perfume compositions.
