Vetiver
“Earthy, smoky grass root — dry, green, and grounding with a woody depth.”
Vetiver, or khus, is deeply Indian, its roots woven into cooling screens (tattis) that scent summer air. The oil smells earthy, green, smoky and complex with remarkable depth. In perfumery vetiver defines an entire family of elegant earthy scents. In Indian summers, vetiver is a revelation, its earthy coolness is the scent of monsoon relief. In winter, its smoky depth warms. India's fragrant root, beloved worldwide.
