🌱 Product Description

Vetiver Oil—also known as Ruh Khus—is a premium essential oil distilled from the roots of the Vetiveria zizanioides grass. Revered as the "Oil of Tranquility," Vetiver is celebrated for its rich, earthy, smoky, woody, and cooling aroma, making it a cornerstone in traditional Indian perfumery, Ayurvedic healing, and fine fragrance creation.

Meena Perfumery offers two primary variants:

  • North Indian Ruh Khus (Green/Deep Green): Distilled into sandalwood, aged for deep complexity

  • South Indian Vetiver Oil (Amber/Dark): Smoother, sweeter, and often used as a fixative in Western perfumery

Vetiver oil is prized for its grounding, calming, and stabilizing effects, ideal for meditative blends, perfumes, and therapeutic products.
