Vetiver  roots are traditionally used in West Africa by women, especially to help regulate certain feminine imbalances and more broadly as part of care practices and preparations used before intimate relations.

Their taste is subtle and pleasant, and the natural fragrance they release is often described as warm and captivating.

Cultural note: in several tribes, there is a ritual to prepare the young bride for her honeymoon, combining vetiver roots, djeka leaves, and black tigernuts.
