there are tremendous differences...both based on country of origin, and on

the distiller...

 

as always...get samples!

I have one from Indonesia and one from El Salvador and they smell as

different as night and day. I prefer the El Salvadorian, cause it's

smoother and a tinsy bit sweeter than the Indonesian.

 

As Marge says, the only way to get to know their differences is to

get samples of different countries from different suppliers and

compare them all.

 

At first I never understood the greatness of Vetiver, but now I

simply love it. It kind of grown on you over time :-)

What is the unique quality (or greatness as you put it) of vetiver

that you like? Many oils are relaxing or sedative (e.g. English Roman

Chamomile is a good one). One major difference is that vetiver is a

root.
