Umuthi Vetiver Pure Essential Oil is a steam-distilled essential oil from the roots of
<em>Vetiveria zizanioides</em>
. Also known as Khas Khas or Khus Khus, vetiver is naturally thick and viscous, with a heavy woody, smoky, earthy
aroma. It is a classic base note in natural perfumery and a favourite for grounding diffuser blends, meditation
blends, sleep-support routines, massage oils, and mature-skin formulations. Its rich depth makes it a beautiful choice
when a blend needs calm, weight, and long-lasting aromatic presence.
</p>
<p>
♡ Why we love it: Vetiver is grounding in the truest sense. Its deep, smoky, earthy character anchors blends
beautifully and brings a calm, settled quality to perfumes, massage oils, and evening aromatherapy routines.
