Patchouli essential oil’s strong, earthy, sweet, woodsy aroma is complex. You may detect spicy, balsamic, and even herbal notes. These nuances come together for an intensely relaxing scent that’s popular in perfumes and for meditation. Patchouli oil seems to calm everything down—use it for skincare to quiet red, tender spots and to purify the skin’s surface. Our organically crafted patchouli essential oil is steam distilled from the rich green leaves of lush, busy herbs grown in India. It’s considered “light” patchouli oil. (“Dark” patchouli is distilled in cast iron vats.)
