Vetiver

Roots, earth and elegant dryness

The olfactory idea

Vetiver offers a root-like, woody character that can also suggest dry grass, earth and smoky nuances. It can give a fragrance structure without an obvious sugary base.

Understanding the craft

The roots of vetiver are used to obtain the essential oil. Origin and processing affect its profile. In a finished formula it may sit alongside citrus, spices, woods and musks.

Explore it for yourself

Try a vetiver fragrance after a sweet amber. The contrast makes dryness easier to identify. Return later to notice which woody facets persist.
