Vetiver Oil

Category:

Grounded in the rich, red soils of the Vohemar region, our Madagascar Vetiver Oil (Chrysopogon zizanioides) is a premium, viscous essential oil celebrated for its “clean” woody profile. Unlike more common origins that can carry a “muddy” or “burnt” note, Madagascar Vetiver is prized for its smooth, resinous depth and superior fixative qualities. This oil is a powerhouse of sesquiterpenes, featuring a high Khusimol content (>11%) and significant levels of Zizanoic acid, making it an indispensable base note for luxury fragrances and a deeply restorative agent in wellness products.

Why Madagascar Vetiver?

While Haiti and Indonesia produce the bulk of the world’s Vetiver, Madagascar’s production is artisanal and distinct. It is often described by perfumers as having a “cleaner” earthiness—less damp soil, more precious wood—making it easier to blend into modern, clean fragrances.

Applications of Vetiver Oil

  • Fragrance Fixative: One of the finest natural fixatives available. It anchors volatile top notes (like citrus) and provides a long-lasting, sophisticated base for woody, oriental, and mossy perfumes.
  • Cosmetics & Soaps: Used in men’s grooming products, aftershaves, and luxury soaps for its masculine, grounding scent and its ability to soothe irritated skin.
  • Therapeutic Massage: In Ayurveda and modern aromatherapy, Vetiver is used to cool the body and calm the nervous system. It is excellent for deep-tissue massage blends to relieve muscular fatigue and joint pain.
  • Skin Regeneration: Its healing properties make it useful in reducing the appearance of stretch marks, scars, and blemishes.
  • Meditation & Grounding: Diffused to promote deep relaxation, stabilize emotions, and combat insomnia or nervousness. It is often called the "Oil of Tranquility" for its sedating effects on the mind.
