Extracted from the roots of the Chrysopogon zizanoides plant through steam distillation, vetiver essential oil has a deep, earthy, and woody aroma with smoky and slightly sweet undertones. Rich in sesquiterpenes like vetiverol, it is valued in aromatherapy for its sedative, calming, and stress-reducing properties. In perfumery, vetiver adds complexity, depth, and longevity to fragrance compositions, particularly in woody, oriental, and chypre blends.
