Patchouli essential oil, from the Pogostemon Cablin plant's dried leaves, carries a rich, musky-sweet, and spicy scent.
Extracted through steam distillation, the leaves are first dried and fermented, a process which improves the oil’s fragrance and potency over time.
This unique aroma has a fascinating history, once used to protect Indian cashmere shawls from moths and later becoming synonymous with the counterculture movement of the 1960s.
