Properties
Great skin care ingredient and cell rejuvenator. Helps to find peace
of mind and is a wonderful aphrodisiac. Also a good masking agent for
unpleasant aromas. Due to its remarkable staying power, Patchouli is
a great fixative ingredient (a fixative is a substance that binds other
compounds, slowing down their evaporation and thereby making their fragrance
last longer).

Description
The scent of the 60's; when increased interest and traveling in India
and Eastern cultures introduced Patchouli to the West. However, many
people who base their perception of Patchouli on memories of the 60's
have never smelled high quality oil.
Distinctly herbaceous and musky in aroma, a good Patchouli Oil has a
satisfying earthy quality, that is great to"ground"a person.
It is a very rich and long-lasting oil. The aroma can be rather crude
when the oil is young and grows more refined with age, as it becomes
a valued"vintage oil". The scent of Patchouli will linger
longer than most other Essential Oils, and should be used sparingly.
Aromaland offers
well aged and satisfying Patchouli.
