【功效特色】
此精油與檸檬草和香茅相關，被印度稱為「寧靜之油」，具有深層放鬆和平衡心靈的效果。非常適合用作按摩油或泡澡精油，幫助緩解壓力、恢復平靜。它同時是強大免疫助力，有助提升身體抵抗壓力的能力，減少生病機率。
岩蘭草具輕微的熱感效用，可用於按摩緩和風濕、關節炎及肌肉酸痛。護膚方面，特別適合油性和痘痘肌膚使用，能調理並減輕出油。傳統上常見於男性護理用品與東方香水，作為基調香氣和固香劑。
【搭配建議】
岩蘭草香氣與玫瑰、檀香、廣藿香及薰衣草、快樂鼠尾草等精油搭配尤為協調，香氣層次豐富。
【優質生產工藝】
優質岩蘭草精油需於種植後至少24個月才可採收根部，年輕根部所萃取油品質較低。採收後根部需晾乾並儲存2個月以上才進行蒸餾。蒸餾時間長達約36小時，因為多數珍貴且影響香氣成分的高沸點物質，只有長時間蒸餾才能完整萃取，這意味更多蒸氣和更高成本。
本款精油來自有機種植園，未使用農藥與除草劑，確保純淨與安全。Scott（Kobashi創始人）會將此精油與檀香調配成獨特香氛，也添加於Kobashi白色保濕剃鬚乳液中。
【植物介紹】
岩蘭草屬禾本科多年生草本，高可達3米，叢生生長。具根莖及纖維質根系，含豐富精油，原產於印度高溫潮濕地區。

KOBASHI VETIVERT OIL 100% Pure
LATIN NAME: Andropogen muricatus, syn: Vetiveria zizanoides)
SOURCE: Steamed distilled from the roots of the grass
COLOUR:Deep amber
ORIGIN: Madagascar/ Java
AROMA: unique, smooth, woody, smoky, spicy/sweet with lemony under tones
This batch has a premium aroma, nicely aged and will get better with age.
Vetiver gets better with age, so you can ignore the best by date.
QUALITIES: related to lemongrass and citronella. Known in India as 'the oil of tranquility'. Its actions are deeply relaxing, and grounding, ideal in massage oil or bath for anyone suffering from stress or simply wishes to relax. Vetivert is an immuno-stimulant, increasing our ability to cope with stress without becoming ill. It has a mild rubetacient effect and can be useful in a massage for the treatment of rheumatism, arthritis and muscular pains. In skin care it is useful for oily skin and acne. Traditionally used in men's toiletries, and in perfumes especially oriental types, as a base note and fixative.
Blends particularly well with rose, sandalwood, and patchouli also with Lavender,clarysage, amongst others.
In order to produce a superior oil the roots should be lifted from the ground at least twenty-four months after planting. Young roots produce an inferior oil. The root is then dried and used after it has been stored for 2 months. The length of distillation is also important, a long distillation around thirty-six hours as many of the most valuable constituents of the oil, and most important in regard to aroma, are high boiling and can be recovered only by prolonged distillation, (which obviously means more steam and a greater cost). The aroma of this oil improves with ageing. Scott uses this one mixed with sandalwood as a fragrance and in our white moisturising lotion to shave. Organically grown: no pesticides or herbicides used.
A member of the Gramineae family it is a densely tufted perennial grass growing up to three metres, growing in large clumps with a rhizome and fibrous root system containing the essential oil. A native to the wet tropical areas in India.
