PATCHOULIPogostemon cablin (Lamiacee)
Type: Organic (CE certification 009577-2015)
Origin: Indonesia
Originally from tropical Asia (Indonesia and the Philippines), where it is still widely cultivated, patchouli is now also grown in China, India, Thailand and Malaysia, for its oil and as an antidote to poisonous snake bites.
A bushy, herbaceous plant, patchouli grows to nearly one metre high. It has a robust stem, large, fragrant leaves and purple-white flowers gathered in spikes.
EXTRACTION
OLFACTIVE AFFINITIES
The essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the fermented dried leaves. It is a dark, viscous liquid that's orange-brown in colour, with a peculiar, grassy-earthy, heady and sweet scent. The perfume, reminiscent of mildew, grows stronger with time. It combines well with benzoin absolute and the essential oils of Agarwood, Ambrette, Bergamot, Buchu, Cinnamon, Citron, Clary sage, Copaiba, Frankincense, Labdanum, Myrrh, Sweet myrrh, Ravensara and Vetiver.
