If the color green had an aroma, it would be Vervain.
Vetiver
The best Vetiver we've ever carried. From Haiti, this oil is rich and dark with a fantastic fresh dirt smell. Great as a fixative.
Wintergreen
Used extensively in muscle-rub applications. Due to its high content of Methyl salicylate, we do not recommend this oil for skin application
