South Indian 10 Year Aged Vetiver E.O

Adam Michael has this to say “Calling all fellow vetiver-heads, this one is out of my private collection of which I have had in my possession since 2014. Limited quantity, cultivated vetiver, profile wise very similar to the South Indian offering we currently offer (very low stock levels) albeit this aroma profile is both cleaner, more refined and at the same time, packs a much heavier punch upon the senses.

Opening notes classic South style vetiver, rooty, leathery, baked clay, soil, dried out Earthy tonalities. However aging has done something rather special here, because whilst many cultivated offerings have a tendency to go into that sweaty direction when on the skin for long enough, this aged wonder instead heads off into a North Indian green hydro True Khus territory from the heart. So you find those vetiver fresh air sea storm qualities that come to the table with immense intensity, you get the big hits of distinctly green nuances one associates with Green North Indian Khus, you get the mind calming qualities as you inhale deeply and exhale slowly, you get the potato skins, the floral tonalities, those trace minty notes, and instead of the norm rooty DNA backbone of the South, you even get notes here that resemble soft fragrant woods. This is an aromatic that’s done exactly as hoped, it was a very good batch that has gone on to age wonderfully with a decade of time. A true joy to sit with as it unravels and reveals itself over the course of a few days on the strip. Absolutely one for the vetiver connoisseurs and anyone who also has a deep appreciation for aged aromatics.”
