Vetiver, originally from India, is now cultivated globally, with Haiti’s Les Cayes region producing some of the finest essential oil. The name “vetiver” derives from the Tamil word vettiveru, meaning “unearthed roots.”
Haitian vetiver oil is renowned for its brighter, fresher, and smoother scent compared to other varieties. Its aroma opens with burnt wood notes, evolving into a sweet, earthy complexity with hints of vanillic creaminess. Steam-distilled from the roots, this oil showcases a unique combination of woody, smoky, spicy, and hazelnut undertones, making it highly valued in perfumery and aromatherapy. Haitian vetiver’s rich, versatile fragrance profile adds depth and warmth to any composition.
