Uses

Dilute to use in skin serums and moisturizing massage oils. Makes a great scalp tonic for shiny, bouncy hair. Conditioner for oily skin. Seriously sensual addition to perfumes and deodorants.

This luxurious, sensual oil’s opulently-earthy aroma only improves with age and is a famed fragrance throughout history. Steam distilled in Indonesia, this oil contains plant compounds that are miraculously moisturizing for hair and skin. Patchouli is primarily used to scent closets and clothing, in skincare, in perfumery, and as love liniment. Many find its musky, earthy fragrance to be reassuring and sensual. A dab on the hair will give long-lasting perfuming effects, especially when combined with Jasmine or Sandalwood.

In order to harness the power of Patchouli, the leaves must be dried for at least a day before the oil can be extracted. Like its robust aroma, the emotional impact of Patchouli Essential Oil is strong and hearty. Patchouli imbibers are given a dose of sensual delight that feels like everything’s going to be alright.

“Obtained by distilling the dried roots of the oriental plant (patchouli)… It is a fixative of heavy perfumes and also an aphrodisiac with magical powers.”
