Our Patchouli is a high quality oil of medium odor depth. Its aroma has strongly pungent, warm, earthy-herbaceous body notes with a sweet wine-like top note; it’s also deeper in aroma than our Patchouli – Light yet not as deep as our Patchouli – Dark, and is highly recommended for skincare preparations. Pogostemon cablin is one of only a few plants that benefit from drying and ‘curing’ of the leaves prior to distillation, resulting in a better quality, higher yield of oil than that from fresh plant material. Among its many aromatherapeutic benefits, it is worth pointing out that Patchouli has an affinity for the skin that practically goes without saying. It is useful for skin that lacks tone, for addressing wrinkled, aging skin, and for conditions of acne, irritation, dryness, and other skin issues
