Patchouli Essential Oil

Botanical name: Pogostemon cablin

Organic Patchouli Essential Oil is steam distilled from the leaves of Pogostemon cablin, an aromatic member of the mint family cultivated throughout tropical Asia. The oil has been prized for centuries for its deep earthy fragrance and exceptional ability to add warmth and longevity to aromatic blends.

During the nineteenth century, dried patchouli leaves were packed with fine silks and textiles shipped from Asia to Europe, where their distinctive aroma became associated with luxury goods. It later became an important ingredient in natural perfumery and botanical skincare.

This particular Organic Patchouli Essential Oil is sourced from Indonesia and steam distilled from certified organic leaves. Like many high-quality patchouli oils, its aroma continues to mature over time, becoming smoother, richer, and more rounded with age.
