The vetiver is closely related to other fragrant grasses, such as lemongrass, citronella and palmarosa. Although the essential oil does not come from the grass as with these three, but from the roots. The oil matures for several months to acquire its typically earthy, smoky to develop aroma.

Vetiver strengthens and nourishes the skin, the scent relaxes and the smoky, woody aroma warms and grounds. The combination with cedar, elemi, turmeric and patchouli gives extra complexity and a wonderfully deep earthy tone.
