50ml Patchouli Essential Oil – Pogostemon Cablin | Steam Distilled Indonesia

Discover the rich, earthy opulence of pure Patchouli Essential Oil, steam distilled from the dried leaves of Pogostemon Cablin sourced from Indonesia. Deep, musky and intensely complex — with a rich, sweet earthiness, a warm spicy depth and a dark, woody sensuality — Patchouli is one of the most distinctive, tenacious and culturally iconic essential oils in the world of natural perfumery and aromatherapy.

A member of the mint family, native to Malaysia and India where it is known as 'puchaput', the word Patchouli derives from the Tamil 'pachchai ilai' — meaning simply 'green leaf'. The young leaves are dried and fermented before steam distillation, a process that develops and deepens the oil's extraordinary fragrance — and like fine wine, Patchouli oil continues to improve and deepen with age, making older oils particularly prized by perfumers.

Few essential oils carry such a vivid cultural story. In Victorian England, Indian cashmere shawls were packed with dried Patchouli leaves to protect them from moths during the long sea voyage — and the distinctive scent became so associated with authentic Indian cashmere that English buyers refused shawls that didn't carry it. In the 1960s and 70s, Patchouli became the defining fragrance of the counterculture movement across Europe and America. In many Asian countries, it is traditionally used as an antidote to snakebite. Few botanicals have lived quite so many lives. This 50ml size is ideal for professional formulators, therapists and those who incorporate Patchouli regularly into their practice or product making.
