Umuthi Vetiver Pure Essential Oil is a steam-distilled essential oil from the roots of Vetiveria zizanioides . 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. 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.
