Khus / Vetiver Hydrosol · Cool, earthy, rooty, smoky

Khus / Vetiver hydrosol is the aromatic water collected during steam distillation of Chrysopogon zizanioides root. It carries the water-soluble aroma compounds of the plant in a far gentler form than the essential oil, so it can be used directly on skin or added to the water phase of a formula.
