Patchouli essential oil is renowned for its unique and earthy aroma, which features light fruity notes. The oil is steam distilled from the soft oval leaves of the patchouli plant, which typically grows to a height of 2 to 3 feet. This essential oil improves with age, making aged patchouli oil particularly sought after for its depth of fragrance.

Patchouli has a long history of use, especially during the British Empire when it was used to scent silks and cashmere shawls from India. This practice not only discouraged insects during shipping but also served as a signature scent that verified the product’s origin. Additionally, genuine India ink was often scented with patchouli, highlighting its versatility.

In aromatherapy and perfumery, patchouli acts as an excellent fixative, helping to extend the life of more expensive oils. Its viscous consistency adds to its rich texture, making it a favorite among perfumers and essential oil enthusiasts alike.

When using patchouli essential oil, it’s important to exercise caution. This oil is intended for external use only and may cause skin irritation in some individuals. A skin test is recommended prior to use, and it should be diluted before application. Avoid contact with eyes.

To maintain the integrity and potency of your patchouli essential oil, it is recommended to store it in colored glass or metal containers. This protects the oil from air, light, and moisture, ensuring maximum shelf life and safe shipping.

Embrace the rich tradition and aromatic delight of patchouli essential oil in your daily routines. Whether for personal use in aromatherapy or as a fragrant addition to your products, our high-quality patchouli oil will not disappoint.
