Vetiver Roots

What it smells like

Vetiver roots exude a deep, earthy‑woody scent that begins as sharp green‑earth with a citrus twist, then evolves into a warm, smoky, rooty base with subtle nutty bitterness. The aroma is dry yet mineral, often described as mineral‑green, slightly bitter, with a faint smoky undercurrent. Perfumers use it as a structural base, anchoring chypres, fougères and citrus accords, and adding longevity and depth to masculine and unisex compositions.
