Perfumer's Notes

Vetiver essential oil comes from the sun dried root of the plant. Its scent, initially earthy, woody, and root-like, becomes increasingly sweet, and slightly floral, violet-like. Vetiver is used across all fragrance families for its unique scent as well as its fixative properties. Use up to 8%.
