VETIVERPerfume
Origin: Haiti
Also known as "Khus khus", Vetiver is native to southern India, Sri Lanka and Indonesia. It is a fragrant and highly resilient herbaceous perennial plant which grows in tufts of long, narrow leaves, with violet-brown flowers.
Vetiver has a dense root system which deeply penetrates the soil, and it is often planted as a soil retainer on landslide-prone hillsides.
Vetiver is mainly cultivated in Japan, southeast Asia, the Philippines, Pakistan and South America.
