I love the scent of vetiver; I have been using the Guerlain formulation for over thirty five years. Interesting to know that 80% of the vetiver oil is produced in Haiti, Indonesia and Brazil also produce the oil. There are differences in the scent, for example: The Haitian vetiver is floral (a good example of the Haitian vetiver is obtained when you buy a bottle of Terre d' Hermes) the Indonesian vetiver is smokier. Like vintage wine vetiver is aged, the peak of perfection is obtained when aged between 18-24 months...a kg of this oil can fetch $200. There are three ways of obtaining the oil, with steam producing a scent that is dryer and lighter, with solvent producing a scent that is darker and smells like rich dirt; and with a more modern process producing a scent that is strong citrucy and fresh.
