10ml Patchouli Essential Oil – Pogostemon Cablin | Steam Distilled Indonesia

Discover the rich, earthy depth of pure Patchouli Essential Oil, steam distilled from the dried leaves of Pogostemon Cablin sourced from Indonesia. Deep, musky and wonderfully complex — with a sweet, spicy warmth and a distinctive earthy base — Patchouli is one of the most iconic and recognisable aromas in natural perfumery and aromatherapy, and a fragrance that genuinely improves with age.

A member of the mint family, Patchouli is native to Malaysia and India, where it is known as 'puchaput' — derived from the Tamil 'pachchai ilai', meaning simply 'green leaf'. The young leaves are dried and fermented before steam distillation, a process that contributes to the oil's characteristic richness and depth. Like fine wine, Patchouli Essential Oil develops and deepens in fragrance over time, making aged Patchouli particularly prized by perfumers.

Patchouli has a fascinating cultural history — from protecting Indian cashmere shawls shipped to Victorian England, to becoming the defining fragrance of the 1960s and 70s counterculture movement. Today it remains a cornerstone of oriental and woody fragrance compositions worldwide, and a beloved staple in natural skincare and personal care formulations.
