Vetiver oil steam-distilled from the washed and dried root of Chrysopogon zizanioides. Vetiver is one of the few materials where distillation length is a primary quality variable: longer runs recover heavier sesquiterpenes and produce a rounder, smokier, less green oil.

Madagascan vetiver sits between the smoky Haitian style and the drier Javanese, with an earthy-rooty core and a persistent woody-smoky dry-down. Extremely tenacious and a reliable fixative.

Root is typically cultivated by smallholders, harvested after 12 to 18 months, then washed, dried and chopped before distillation.

Vetiver is cultivated and is widely used for erosion control, so root harvesting is generally compatible with soil-stabilisation use. Smallholder sourcing means traceability depends on co-operative-level record keeping.
