Vetivert is a scented grass indigenous to India and Sri Lanka. The essential oil is distilled from the roots and its fragrance is deep and smoky, but blended with a base of oil, or alcohol, it develops lemony overtones. In modern perfumery Vetivert is used as a base note and fixative, and the essential oil is excellent for skincare.
Vetivert roots have been used for fragrance in India for thousands of years and in Indian means 'Oil of Tranquility'. It has a deeply relaxing effect when used in baths and for massage.
