A passionate search for the highest quality Vetiver essential oil with sweet, woody, smoky notes led to an ethical distiller in Java who carefully farms and produces this exquisite oil from non-GMO roots of the perennial growing grass Vetiveria zizanioides, also known as zizanoides.
This Vetiver essential oil is truly exceptional, with a delightful aroma that blends delicate sweetness, rich smokiness, and earthy notes in perfect harmony with a hint of woodsy undertones. Its fragrance is perfect for meditation and relaxation therapy blends, where it can create a peaceful and calming atmosphere.
When used in natural perfumes, Vetiver essential oil adds a sensuous and mesmerizing dimension to any composition. However, it should be used sparingly, as it can easily overpower other scents if overused. For a masculine fragrance, Vetiver can be blended with Black Pepper, Lavender, Neroli, or Patchouli, while for a more feminine scent, it can be combined with Jasmine, Rose Otto, or Geranium.
Above ground, Vetiver is a grass-growing plant with a massive root structure below. The longer it grows, the more abundant the root structure becomes, making it ideal for producing natural essential oil. Vetiver plants are also an eco-friendly solution for soil erosion because of their extensive root growth. After harvesting the roots, the distiller uses the grass as feed for his cattle and horses, and replanting continues on a continual rotation basis.
Apart from its aromatic qualities, Vetiver essential oil is also beneficial in aromatherapy for skin care, muscular pains, depression, stress, and insomnia. Its versatile properties make it a must-have addition to any aromatherapy collection.
