Vetiver roots
Vetivers roots are very coveted by African women as it's an all-in-one remedy for all female health issues(bad vaginal odor, infertility, menstrual cramps, etc.). They have a subtle and very appreciable taste in the mouth. The scent they give off is captivating and it is for this reason that their essence is frequently used in men perfurmery.
