Khus Vetiver attar is a Flora Five original built around ruh khus — the green, cooling oil distilled from vetiver roots that North India has trusted for generations to take the edge off its summers. Bergamot, lemon and lime ride a rush of fresh greenness over the khus itself, black pepper and herbal woods add bite through the heart, and the roots finally sink into earth, oakmoss, amber and white musk for roughly 8–10 hours on skin.

This is an alcohol-free oil, so it is halal-friendly and famously kind in hot weather — khus actually feels cooling on the pulse points. Roll it over your wrists, the sides of your neck and behind the ears before stepping out; perspiration and body heat deepen the earthy facets rather than washing them away. As with any dark green oil, keep it clear of white shirting.

Frequently asked questions
What does Khus Vetiver attar smell like?
Like the first splash of water on hot earth. The opening is green and citrus-cool, the middle turns rooty and peppery, and the base is damp soil, woods and oakmoss with a faint ambery sweetness. If you have ever smelled a khus-cooled desert cooler in a May afternoon, this is that memory in a bottle.
How long does it last?
Roughly 8–10 hours on skin. Vetiver root oil is naturally tenacious, so while the citrus-green sparkle softens within the first hour, the earthy core stays close and steady through a full working day, with skin-warmth reviving it in the evening.
Is it alcohol-free and halal?
Yes — it is a completely alcohol-free perfume oil, suitable for prayer, daily wear and sensitive skin. Genuine distilled khus is also the reason this attar sits in our premium tier: the root oil itself is slow and costly to produce.
Which size should I choose — 3, 6 or 12 ml?
Because this blend is built on true vetiver root oil, the 3 ml is a sensible first bottle and lasts surprisingly long at one swipe a day. Choose 6 ml if khus is already a summer staple for you, and 12 ml for the best per-ml value on a scent you will reach for from April to September.
At Flora Five, all our attars are meticulously crafted to maintain their authenticity and purity. Each blend is 100% oil-based and free from alcohol, ensuring a rich, long-lasting scent experience.
To preserve the integrity of our attars and protect them from contamination or loss of their distinctive scent profiles, we incorporate essential, non-toxic regulatory substances like antioxidants. These carefully chosen components ensure the longevity and stability of your attar without compromising safety.
While no additional ingredients in our formulations are inherently harmful, we recommend patch testing before full use to rule out any potential allergies. At Flora Five, your safety and satisfaction are as important as the elegance of our fragrances.
