Vetiver Heart
Vetiver Heart
These hearts are made up of dried roots of the vetiver plant which is a by-product of the perfume industry. Hand made in Madagascar by a womans co-operative just outside the capital.
The root holds the plants fragrance so the hearts smell amazing and are naturally anti bacterial, anti fungal and deter insects. A good alternative to lavender for hanging in cupboards and scenting drawers. A light spritz with water will revive and/or intensify the scent
