    Vetiver oil, known as khus in India, is prized for its earthy, grounding aroma. Vetiver grass, flourishes in India’s tropical climate, particularly the regions of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Uttar Pradesh. It favours deep, sandy loam soil and requires ample moisture.

    Vetiver oil is extracted through steam distillation of the plant’s intricate root system. The resulting oil produced is thick and amber coloured. Vetiver oil is widely used in perfumery, creating base notes in fragrances. Its calming properties are also valued in aromatherapy.

    Haiti is a major producer of vetiver and political instability has impacted exports from the region. This has put pressure on Indian vetiver supply. Demand is higher than supply. While there are decent carry-over stocks from last season, they aren’t enough to meet the growing demand. With the new season approaching fresh stock will enter the market and potentially balance the demand-supply dynamics. At present oil prices are rising and future trends depend on production levels in various growing regions.
