What physical form, characteristics or scent does vetiver essential oil have: The scent of the essential oil is extremely long-lasting; it can cling to clothing for as long as two weeks, making it an excellent fixative and an indispensable base note in oriental-style perfumes.

In aromatherapy, adding one drop of vetiver essential oil to an essential oil blend can make the scent last longer and create a mysterious aura.
