This plant is widely used mainly for its aromatic roots, from which vetiver oil is extracted, which is valued for its characteristic woody scent. Vetiver roots are also known for their ability to stabilise the soil and prevent erosion.

Vetiver oil is widely used in many products. Its deep, sweet woody scent is often used in perfumery, where it is a popular ingredient in 'oriental' and 'woody' fragrances. Vetiver oil is also used in aromatherapy for its purported calming and soothing properties, earning it the nickname 'oil of tranquility'. In addition to these uses, vetiver also appears in soaps, creams, deodorants and other cosmetic products. Because of its antiseptic properties, it can also appear in skin and hair care products. Dried vetiver roots are traditionally used in India to make mats and fans, which release a pleasant fragrance when used.
