Description

Vetiver is a tropical plant from India and Indonesia, the most precious species from Haiti, Réunion and Java. What makes vetiver special is the roots, which are very strong and can grow vertically up to 5 metres. Harvested from December to September, the roots are cut and left under the sun and using steam distillation, an amber-coloured essential oil is obtained. On average, 150 kg of dried roots give 1 kg of essential oil.

Vetiver Java by Perris Monte Carlo is the perfect fragrance for anyone searching for elegantly charismatic notes: an intense, woody heart that opens out into light, floral notes. This fragrance is pungent, sharp, smoky, and almost burnt, with unexpected green, floral and spicy hints.
