Listing ID #4918627

Description
Vetiver is a perennial grass of the Poaceae family, cultivated mainly for the fragrant essential oil distilled from its roots. The characteristics of the oil can vary significantly depending on where the grass is grown and the climate and soil conditions.
The oil is amber brown and rather thick while the fragrance (which improves with aging)is described as deep, sweet, woody, smoky, earthy, amber, balsam.
The oil distilled in Haiti has a more floral quality to it and is considered of higher quality than the oil from Java which has a smokier note.
