Vetiver

Chrysopogon zizanioides

Vetiver is a delightful desert grass whose deeply complex aromatic essential oil has been used in perfumery for centuries. The roots of a vetiver plant can reach down to 7 ft below surface level, allowing it to gather water hidden deep underground and providing excellent drought tolerance. It is in this deep root system that vetiver creates the compelling aromatic compounds we use as base notes and fixatives in some of our aromatherapy formulas.
