Vetiver
Smoky and root-like, the driest wood note in the collection.
What Vetiver actually smells like
Vetiver is steam-distilled from the root of Chrysopogon zizanioides, a grass whose root system runs deep and dense — which is exactly where this oil's smoky, earthy dryness comes from. It's the driest, most grounded wood note in the entire collection.
That grounding quality works in both studies and bedrooms, serious enough for focus and calming enough for rest.

A note on safety
For external aromatherapy use only — never taken internally. Use with care during pregnancy, ideally in a diffuser rather than on skin, and avoid entirely during the first trimester unless a qualified practitioner advises otherwise. Suitable for diffuser and inhalation use for adults and children 12 and over; for younger children, consult a healthcare professional first. Use with caution around pets, and never apply topically to an animal. Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets.
