Uruguayan vetiver is a distinct variety of the vetiver plant, native to South America, specifically Uruguay. Its scent profile is highly valued in the world of perfumery for its unique and exquisite characteristics. Unlike its Asian counterparts, Uruguayan vetiver tends to have a smoother, more refined aroma with less smokiness. It is often described as having a clean, fresh, and earthy fragrance with woody and slightly green undertones. These qualities make it an excellent base note that adds depth and persistence to fragrance compositions. The scent of Uruguayan vetiver is also noted for its calming and grounding properties, making it a popular choice not only in perfumes but also in aromatherapy and therapeutic products.
