A good perfumer needs one great vetiver oil. This is it; this is the vetiver of renown.

From the very first sniff you will recognise this oil from such masterpieces as Guerlain's Vetiver (2000) and Jean Claude Ellena's Terre D'Hermes (2007) for Hermes.

We refer to this oil as “Bourbon” oil as it is the closest product to the near-mythical vetiver of the golden age, now no longer produced in La Reunion (formerly Île Bourbon) but sourced on the neighbouring island of Madagascar. This is not a blend or derivative product — it is 100% pure and natural vetiver goodness from Biolandes.

Wonderful effects can be achieved with this oil by blending it with our incredible Vetiverol ex Vetiver Haiti.

Origin: Madagascar and Mauritius
