BENEFIT HIGHLIGHTS

  • Profound Grounding

  • Stillness Before Sleep

    A rich, quiet base note traditionally used in the evening and often chosen to promote a sense of calm.
  • The Smoother Vetiver

    Haitian vetiver is prized as the most refined of its kind: sweeter and rounder, with less of the smoky edge found elsewhere.

The Roots That Hold the Hillsides

From the smallholdings of southern Haiti, the world's finest vetiver.

Haiti has become the world's leading source of vetiver, with tens of thousands of smallholder families growing and harvesting the grass across the southern peninsula.

The oil comes from the dense root network, dug by hand, washed and dried before extraction, and the same roots help hold fragile hillside soil in place.

Haitian material is considered the most refined in the world, sweeter and smoother than the smokier vetivers of Java.

SAFETY

Dillution guideline

  • For skin use, dilute to 1-3% in a carrier oil such as jojoba or argan; its strength means the lower end is usually plenty.

  • Patch test

Apply a small diluted amount to the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before wider use.

  • Children

Keep out of reach of children; for children over 3, use only at very low dilution and consult a qualified aromatherapist.

  • Pregnancy

If pregnant or nursing, consult a healthcare professional before use.

  • Pets

Keep away from pets; diffuse only in ventilated spaces and never apply to animals.

  • Photosensitivity

Not typically associated with photosensitivity.

  • Ingestion

Do not ingest unless under qualified professional guidance.

  • Storage

Store tightly closed in a cool, dark place away from heat and light; being sesquiterpene-rich it is remarkably stable and its aroma often improves with age.
