THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE SCENT
Inside the oil
An oil's character comes from its natural chemical composition. Explore each constituent to understand the connections.
About this composition
This record is anchored to a directly readable Haitian vetiver GC-MS batch report. The public Haitian assay is khusimol-forward and includes isovalencenol, beta-vetivenene, zizanoic acid, vetiselinenol, beta-vetivone, alpha-vetivone, and additional sesquiterpene alcohol and aldehyde markers.

A TRADITION OF BOTANICAL CURIOSITY
Traditional & reported uses
These uses reflect the profile's reported traditions and literature. They are not established treatment recommendations.
- traditionally used in aromatherapy for deeply grounding, calming effect
- reported to support restful sleep and easing of racing thoughts
- used in perfumery as a rich, earthy-smoky base note and fixative
- traditionally associated with easing occasional stress and nervous tension
- reported to support focus and a sense of stability in blends
For aromatherapy and wellness use only — not medical advice. Effect statements are traditional/reported associations, not treatment claims. The Synergy Rating scores blend craft, harmony and safety, not medical efficacy. Read the safety framework.
What we're still learning · 3 data gaps
Good decisions start with knowing what is — and isn't — in the evidence.
- Odor intensity 90 is an archive normalization of AromaWeb's categorical 'Bold' aroma-strength band for vetiver rather than a source-native 0-100 measurement for this Haitian batch.
- Missing source type: a directly readable Haitian vetiver monograph or CAS registry source for several minor and marker constituents, including khusimol, isovalencenol, beta-vetivenene, and zizanoic acid.
- The public Haitian GC-MS report includes more minor markers than are captured here; this record prioritizes the directly readable dominant constituents needed for a verified profile.
