Product Description

Vetiver Essential Oil (South India) is a thick, earthy, and woody oil obtained from the steam distillation of the dried roots of Vetiveria zizanioides.
South Indian Vetiver, often considered the finest grade, has a deep, smoky, balsamic, and sweet-woody aroma — stronger and more persistent than North Indian varieties.

Revered as the “Oil of Tranquility”, Vetiver is a prized fixative in perfumery and a grounding, cooling agent in aromatherapy.
It is widely used in fine perfumery, high-end cosmetics, attars, incense, and Ayurvedic preparations.
