The smell of Vertiver / khus reminds me of my summer holidays. I recently got it and both quantity and quality = A+
I added few strands to my regular bottle of water and the smell it gives to the water is like smell of first rain! It’s so amazing and soothing. I am actually able to drink more water because of that. And not to forget the benefits of Vetiver roots have their own benefits!

Khus is a natural cooler. And these were really good. Love adding a few strands of the root in my jug of water in the morning and I keep shipping throughout the day. I even serve them to my visiting guests or clients and they are simply blown away by the fragrance of it in the water . It’s not only cooling but on a vibrational level , it brings the vibrational energy of the body up and that’s why I recommended to many of my client as well. It can really calm you down if you’re having a hectic day.
