Through emotional and physical balance we often find clarity. With a woody and musky aroma, Vetiver inspires a harmonious state while promoting deep concentration.
An extremely versatile essential oil, Vetiver has an alluring effect that can enhance sensual and romantic emotions.
Native to Asia, the tropical grass grows about 4 to 8 feet in height and produces sharp edged leaves, tiny flowers and aromatic roots. The strong roots sink deep into the earth, making the plant ideal for preventing soil erosion. To extract the essential oil, the root is put through a steam distillation process. The thick amber oil mixes well with Sandalwood and other resins.
