Vetiver is a herb with aromatic roots that grows surrounded by tropical plants. Vetiver has recently earned the full confidence of perfumers. For a long time they did not dare to use vetiver oil as a leading component of perfume, although it has been used in perfumery since about the middle of the 19th century. But in the fifties of the twentieth century, everything changed. Fragrances based on vetiver essential oil have appeared.

The character of the herb has a masculine hue, so vetiver was initially included mainly in men's perfumes, where it became the most popular component of "leather" perfumes. But time passes, and nothing is constant. In today's perfumery, many vetiver fragrances are created for both men and women - unisex fragrances... But there are just women's fragrances, and vetiver essential oil is successfully used in their composition.




The oil is obtained from the roots of the herb, it has a scent inherent in autumn and winter. In them, thanks to the notes of vetiver, the same changeable character is felt as in the autumn nature - there are warm sunny shades and a bitter smell of foliage lying on damp ground.



The grass has long shoots and hardy roots. The fragrant roots of this plant are widely used not only in perfumery, but also in medicine. Vetiver has a calming effect, which is why people call this herb "the herb of pacification." And in aromatherapy, vetiver oil is used for insomnia and depression, increased excitability and anxiety. The aroma of this herb soothes and relaxes, reduces the effects of stress, creating a sense of balance, improves tone and relieves tension in the nervous system.





Because vetiver can be so changeable, it manifests itself differently in every composition. With it, you can create luxurious aromas with components of forests with damp earth and fallen leaves, and with exotic plants of the tropics or with the hot sands of the Arabian Desert.

The nature of the vetiver scent also depends on its location in the composition pyramid. If it is in the upper tones, it gives the perfume some bitterness, in the middle - a slightly dusty hue, in the trail - sweetness.

In general, vetiver turns the composition into a luxurious symphony with any citrus, sandalwood, geranium, rose, angelica, ylang-ylang, patchouli, lavender, cinnamon, sage, rosewood, nutmeg.
