Although the most well-known perfumes are those with floral notes, cinnamon notes, or fruity notes, there are also those with much more exotic and different ingredients, such as vetiver. What? You don't know what perfumes with vetiver are? Well, keep reading and you'll find out!
What is vetiver?
Chrysopogon zizanioides, also known as vetiver, is a plant from which an essential oil, highly valued in the world of perfumery, is extracted by distilling its root. Why? Because of its fixative and harmonizing effect on fragrances, which allows them to blend better together and makes their aroma last much longer.
As we mentioned earlier, it is an exotic ingredient, and indeed it is endemic to areas such as Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Haiti and certain regions of India. Its use was traditionally related to food, religious offerings, medicinal purposes and, of course, the manufacture of perfumes. It is very hardy and doesn't have very specific climate requirements, so it can grow in other warm Asian countries and islands of southern Africa.
What does vetiver smell like?
The aroma of vetiver is known as thescent of the Earth. The scent of vetiver is green, woody, earthy, oriental, dry, bitter, and has a refreshing citrus touch that makes it unique. But above all, it's intense. Not for the faint of heart!
Its aroma has the power to intoxicate and relax anyone who wears it. It is widely used in aromatherapyand in niche perfumery, and its citrus touch is ideal for the most summery and refreshing fragrances.
Given its characteristics, this ingredient is more commonly used in men's fragrances, although more and more perfumers are daring to include it in women's perfumes.
