In 2010, a devastating earthquake struck Haiti. More than 316,000 people died and more than 250,000 homes were destroyed. While the rebuilding process has been progressing, much still needs to be done. Thousands of Haitians are being employed by vetiver grass farms, which harvest earthy, rich oil used in high-end perfumes. To find fragrances that utilize the vetiver oils, simply search "Haitian vetiver" on e-commerce sites like Sephora.com.
