Scent Profile

Vetiver is generally considered a base note. It provides a grounding, woody, and earthy scent that is typically used to anchor a fragrance and add depth. It is said to have one of the "deepest" scents, and is probably best described as campfire smoke. While this may not sound so enticing to some, the scent is rather pleasant, and a favorite for many.
