Derived from the roots of the tall tufted vetiver grass, Vetiver Essential Oil emanates a robust base note characterized by a woody and earthy aroma. This unique fragrance, obtained through the steam distillation of vetiver grass roots, makes it a preferred choice in various men's products, including aromatherapy, massage therapy, skincare formulations, and as a foundational note in perfumery. Vetiver, a tall tufted grass with a straight stem and long narrow leaves, finds its roots in the lush landscapes of South India, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka.
