Ruh Khus A Grade – Wild Indian Vetiver Oil (Rooh Khas) | Traditional Kannauj Attar
Ruh Khus A Grade – Wild Indian Vetiver Oil, also known as Rooh Khas, Rooh Khus, and Ruh Khas, is a traditional natural fragrance oil distilled from the aromatic roots of Indian vetiver grass (Vetiveria zizanioides). Originating from the historic perfume-making city of Kannauj, India, this distinctive vetiver oil captures the earthy, green, woody, grassy, and root-like aroma traditionally associated with authentic khus.
Produced using a traditional hydrodistillation method, the aromatic essence is extracted from vetiver roots to preserve its distinctive botanical fragrance profile. Ruh Khus is recognizable for its characteristic green hue and intensely earthy aroma, creating a fragrance experience that feels raw, green, woody, and deeply connected to the natural character of vetiver.
Unlike fragrances built around numerous contrasting accords, Ruh Khus celebrates vetiver itself. Fresh grassy nuances gradually reveal earthy roots, deep woods, and subtle smoky facets, making it an excellent choice for vetiver lovers, traditional attar enthusiasts, and collectors of distinctive botanical fragrances.

How to Use
Apply a small amount to pulse points such as the wrists and neck, then dab gently. Begin with a small quantity, as Ruh Khus has a distinctive and concentrated aromatic character.
Ruh Khus can be worn alone to appreciate its characteristic vetiver profile or layered with complementary sandalwood, oud, rose, amber, musk, patchouli, or other traditional attars.
Because Ruh Khus has a distinctive natural color, avoid applying the oil directly to light-colored or delicate fabrics, where the oil may potentially leave a visible mark.
Experience Ruh Khus A Grade—an extraordinary expression of wild Indian vetiver where fresh green grass, earthy roots, deep woods, and subtle smoky nuances come together in a traditional Kannauj fragrance celebrating the unmistakable aromatic character of khus.
