Descriptions

Comment (FraterWork)

When people talk of vetiver they usually think of Madagascar (the source of the near mythical Bourbon type [https://fraterworks.com/products/vetiver-bourbon]), Indonesia (Java usually), and Haiti. But perhaps the best kept secret for speciality vetiver oils is South India (pictured). On the sandy coast of South India, Vetiver has long been grown not just for its treasured scent but also for religious and medicinal uses. One of the leading suppliers from the region is TMV Aromas, established in 1958 and holding many prestigious awards for the quality of their natural Indian origin extracts. TMV is our supplier of choice for this material. Vetiver Oil, South India smells as all vetiver oils should, but with the added richness of baked earth and saltiness from the myriad sandy beaches facing distant Ceylon.
