Patchouli oil 100% essential

10ml

The scent of patchouli oil is very rich and difficult to describe. It is undoubtedly very sensual. It seems thick, moist and heavy, even a bit musty. In the foreground you can feel the intoxicating sweetness of flowers from the tropical jungle, and in the background a delicate herbalism. The consistency of the oil is as thick as its scent – the oil escapes through the dropper with difficulty. No wonder, because it is a typical base and grounding oil. It smells great without additives, but for some it may be too heavy. In such a case, it is worth combining it with a citrus-scented oil (I especially recommend lemon peel), which will add lightness and freshness. Proportions 3:1. Generally, patchouli oil goes well with many scents, but only when it plays the main role. I encourage you to experiment.

Interestingly, the scent of patchouli oil does not fade over time, but actually matures and gains in quality!

Patchouli oil is a popular ingredient in perfumes, especially men’s. It is also widely used in the production of soaps, creams, shampoos, cleaning agents, air fresheners and insect repellents. It also has its place in natural Asian medicine – it is used for headaches, digestive problems and as an antiseptic.
