Patchouli
Pure Essential Oil, 10 ml
Botanical Name: Pogostemon cablin
Origin: Indonesia
Part of Plant: Fresh & Aged Leaves
Extraction: Steam Distillation
Description & Scent Profile:
Steam-distilled from the fragrant, fermented leaves of Indonesian Pogostemon cablin, Patchouli essential oil is legendary for its deep, rich, earthy-woody aroma with sweet, dark-balsamic undertones. Rich in naturally occurring Patchoulol and Guaiene, Patchouli is an extraordinary fixative base note in luxury natural perfumery. Beyond its timeless fragrance, it offers exceptional benefits for mature skincare—helping maintain skin elasticity, locking in deep hydration, and conditioning tired scalps—while its grounding, meditative aroma quiets mental overactivity and restores emotional equilibrium.
Key Botanical, Cosmetic & Mindful Benefits:
Restorative & Elasticity-Enhancing Skincare: Deeply nourishes mature or dry complexions, helping reinforce the skin’s natural barrier, smooth fine lines, and support skin firmness and elasticity.
Clarifying Scalp & Hair Care: Cleanses excess surface oils, conditions dry scalps, and leaves hair feeling smooth, balanced, and lustrous.
Grounding & Centring Aromatherapy: Eases daily mental stress, calms restless overthinking, and fosters a peaceful, grounded state of mind during meditation or busy days.
Rich Perfume Base & Closet Refresh: Acts as an exquisite fixative note that anchors floral heart notes in custom perfumes, while providing a clean, woodsy, moth-repelling aroma for linens and closets.
Best Ways to Experience:
Restorative Facial Radiance Serum: Dilute 1 drop of Patchouli into 10 ml of Rosehip seed or Jojoba oil. Gently press onto clean face and neck night or morning to support smooth, firm, and radiant skin.
Scalp-Clarifying Hair Oil Treatment: Add 2–3 drops to 1 tablespoon of Argan or Jojoba oil. Massage gently into the scalp and hair roots 20 minutes before shampooing to balance surface oiliness and condition hair.
Grounding & Peaceful Room Diffusion: Add 2–4 drops to your ultrasonic diffuser to fill your home with a serene, spa-like, earthy-sweet ambiance.
Aromatic Closet & Fabric Refresh: Add 2–3 drops to a wooden block or wool dryer ball and place in drawers or closets to naturally refresh linens and neutralize musty odours.
Aromatherapist's Tip: Patchouli improves with age, becoming deeper, smoother, and richer over time. Pre-blend a drop with Rose Bulgarian or Jasmine in a carrier oil and let it sit for a week to create an exquisite, velvety natural perfume base.
