Vetiver Kenya E.O 5ml

This material is actually from a tea estate in Kenya. The business has had problems with soil erosion on its terraces and vetiver was seen as both a solution and additional source of income.

Aromatically from the bottle this is reminiscent of a somewhat crude and very young bourbon. Of course this needs to be applied to the strip for a proper evaluation, and via the strip, the aroma is saturating warm, dry woody, bitter, smoky, nutty, leathery, trace sweet in a woody liquorice fashion and exuding dusty aspects, comparable to what you find within the profile of Cedarwood Virginian.

As we progress the notes above remain, albeit wet green grass through to earthy soil notes start to creep in to detection.

Simply as I type, this Kenyan vetiver is a work horse, an aromatic grafter and wherever you need a smoky through to the specialist “heart” type vetiver in your composition, this can and will do the job for a fraction of the price. The notes within the dry down are impressive, as is its overall current profile and its staying power at 8 hours on my skin type, admittedly from a sizeable swipe. Excellent value for money, a great starter vetiver and I would score this one 7 out of 10 as it stands with possibilities of becoming an outright 10 out of 10 with long ageing.”
