10 ml Patchouli Essential Oil

Patchouli Essential Oil — 10ml

Patchouli — Pogostemon cablin — is a bushy herb native to tropical Asia whose essential oil has been used in traditional medicine and perfumery across India, China, and Southeast Asia for centuries. It became iconic in the West during the 1960s counterculture movement, but its history as a perfumery ingredient stretches back much further — used to scent Indian ink, protect fabrics from moths during the spice trade, and as a cornerstone of oriental and chypre fragrance compositions. Steam-distilled from the dried, fermented leaves, it yields a rich, earthy, musky, woody oil that deepens and improves with age.
