Product Overview

Patchouli Essential Oil is an iconic, deeply grounding botanical oil steam-distilled from the dried and lightly fermented leaves of Pogostemon cablin. Like fine wine, Patchouli improves remarkably with age—developing a rich, velvety, earthy-woody bouquet layered with sweet balsamic, damp forest floor, dark cocoa, herbal-camphoraceous, and warm musky-amber undertones. Indispensable in haute perfumery and traditional Indian attar making, it serves as both a foundational base note and a premier natural fixative.
