Haitian Vetiver is renowned in perfumery for its sophisticated, earthy, and woody aroma. Sourced from the roots of the vetiver plant in Haiti, this ingredient offers a unique olfactory profile with a slightly smoky and rich character. Haitian Vetiver is cherished for its depth and longevity in fragrance formulations, often used in base notes to provide a grounding effect. The extraction of Haitian Vetiver involves distillation of the vetiver roots, ensuring a natural and authentic representation of its scent. It is especially prominent in woody and oriental fragrance families, where it imparts a classic and elegant finish.
Natural or Synthetic?
Haitian Vetiver oil is naturally extracted from the roots of the Vetiveria zizanioides plant, primarily through steam distillation. It's prized for its deep, woody, earthy aroma with subtle smoky undertones. Synthetic versions of vetiver, like vetiveryl acetate, are also used in modern perfumery to provide a consistent scent profile and to supplement the natural oil, which can be expensive and vary in scent due to environmental factors.
