Vetiver Essential Oil

Description

Vetiver essential oil has a strong, earthy, woodsy and somewhat smoky aromatic.  The oil is extracted from the roots of the grass and is known for its soothing and calming properties.  The grass is then used for woven articles such as baskets and matting. Vetiver is a powerful essential oil and a small amount can make a large aromatic impact.   It is used for applications in massage therapy, skin care production and as a base note in perfumery.
