Bio Smoked Vetiver Absolute | Vetiveria Zizanioides | With smoky notes

Overview

An artisanal vetiver absolute made from roots that are smoked before solvent extraction. The result is an exceptionally tenacious material that combines vetiver’s dry, earthy and woody depth with a pronounced campfire character. It is best introduced in very small trials when a smoky base or fixative effect is wanted.

Bio Smoked Vetiver Absolute is a rich and highly distinctive aromatic material derived from the roots of Vetiveria zizanioides. It captures the characteristic earthy and woody personality of vetiver while emphasizing darker smoky, rooty, leathery and slightly charred nuances.

The aroma is deep, dry and sophisticated rather than fresh or grassy. It opens with an immediate smoky-earthy impression, followed by dense vetiver root, dry wood and mineral-like nuances. As it develops, subtle leathery, balsamic and incense-like facets emerge, creating a long-lasting and highly textured base note.

This material is especially valuable in fine fragrance, natural perfumery, incense compositions, masculine fragrances, woody accords, leather perfumes and autumn or winter compositions where depth and persistence are desired.
