Key Properties
Vetiver oil is a highly prized essential oil distilled from the roots of the vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides). This oil is renowned for its deep, earthy, and woody aroma, making it a staple in the fragrance industry. The oil is extracted through steam distillation, resulting in a complex mixture rich in vetiverol, which contributes to its distinctive scent profile. Vetiver oil is not only valued for its aromatic properties but also for its potential therapeutic benefits, including its use in aromatherapy and skin care products.
Also known as Vetiver essential oil, Vetiver root oil.
