Haitian Vetiver smells like you've just walked through a sun-baked garden after rainfall. Imagine the earthy, almost mineral scent of wet soil mixed with dried grass, green roots, and a whisper of smoke. There's a leathery undertone—like old saddle leather left in the sun—coupled with a subtle spiciness that recalls black pepper and dried tobacco leaf. It's grounding and slightly smoky, with an austere, almost medicinal quality that feels both calming and subtly warm.

Java vetiver smells like damp earth after a summer downpour, with an almost smoky undertone—imagine standing in a rain-soaked garden where roots and rich soil dominate. It's grassy yet deeply woody, carrying hints of tobacco leaf and dried hay. There's a subtle earthiness that feels both grounding and slightly mysterious, reminiscent of walking through a humid forest where vegetation and moisture create an almost mineral-like quality. It's considerably warmer and more complex than standard vetiver.
