Absolute Aromas Vetiver Oil 10ml

Product Description

Vetiver essential oil is produced from the rootlets of a grass which grows wild in many parts of India Sri Lanka & other parts of Asia. The rootlets are dried cut & chopped then soaked in water prior to distillation. The grass is cultivated for distillation in many parts of the world the most important producers being Haiti & Java. The Indian production to date is not of a very good quality & goes mostly into the local soap & perfume industry. Vetiver is a heavy viscous oil with a rich undertone of precious wood notes. Absolute Aromas has selected this Haitian oil for its excellent quality. Most Javan producers burn off the grass before digging up the roots & this often gives a smoky note to the oil whereas the Haitian producers cut the grass & use it for feeding cattle or for grass mats so the oil has a much cleaner aroma. Vetiver is extremely viscous. A large nozzle in the bottle helps to some extent but it may require gentle warming of the bottle in the hands or warm water (and a lot of patience) to pour a few drops out. Blend 1 drop each of Vetiver Jasmine & Sandalwood in 10ml of Peach Kernel oil for a most luxurious massage oil. To a teaspoon of Sweet Almond oil add 1 drop each of Vetiver Patchouli & Lavender. Swish this into a very warm bath to help shrug off aches & pains on cold winter nights.
