short description:

What is vetiver?

It’s an essential oil renowned for its grounding, calming and stabilising properties.

Also referred to askhus oil, vetiver oil is made from a perennial grass that’s native to India.1

Part of the Poaceae plant family, vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides) can grow up to 1.5 metres tall and has tall stems and long, thin, rigid leaves and purple/brown flowers.

It also happens to be related to other fragrant grasses, namely lemongrass and citronella.2

The name vetiver, Vetiveria Zizanioides in full, means ‘hatcheted’ up in the parts of India where it’s native to.

Vetiver grass thrives in sandy loam or clay loam soil and climates that are tropical, sub-tropical or Mediterranean.

The plant is indigenous to India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Malaysia.

It can also be found in many other tropical regions, including Brazil, Jamaica, Africa, Indonesia, Japan and Australia.

How is vetiver oil made?

Like most essential oils, vetiver is made from the process of steam distillation, which involves vetiver roots.

This process has been used for many centuries, with vetiver oil dating as far back as the 12th century, when it was a taxable item in its native India.

The vetiver roots tend to be harvested for oil when the grass is around 18 to 24 months old.

Interestingly, there is no synthetic version of vetiver essential oil because it has such a complex scent profile, which is made up of more than 100 components, making vetiver oil that even more special.3

What does vetiver smell like?

Highly distinctive.

Some people describe it as woody, smoky, earthy and spicy. While others say it smells dry and leathery.

It’s also been said to smell quite a lot like patchouli too.

Because of its woody, smoky, almost rugged, smell vetiver is often classed as being more of a masculine scent and is widely used in colognes and other scented products for men.4

Men’s fragrances that contain vetiver include Creed Original Vetiver, Carven Vetiver, Annick Goutal Vetiver, Guerlain Vetiver Extreme, Il Profumo Vetiver de Java, Prada Infusion de Vetiver, Lacoste Red Style in Play and Tim McGraw Southern Blend.

Meanwhile, perfumes that contain vetiver include Chanel Sycomore, Lancome Hypnose, Nina Ricci L’Air du Temps, Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche and DKNY Delicious Night.
