Our line of fine perfumery fragrances is the result of painstaking research, selection, and composition since 1988. The ongoing selection of raw materials and constant laboratory testing have always allowed us to enrich the olfactory characteristics of our compositions.
Stabilized natural essential oil. PS: Product also available as a pure essential oil.
Our exclusive 13.5 ml (0.46 fl. oz.) bottle in special transparent neutral glass enhances the chromatic properties of the various oils: each is visible in its natural color, completely unique like the scent it releases. Each bottle is equipped with a special heat-shrinkable transparent polymer seal to guarantee (in compliance with the law) its tamper-proof nature.
Extraction
Patchouli essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the dried and fermented leaves of the plant; it is a dark, orange-brown, viscous liquid with a distinctive herbaceous-earthy, rich, and sweetish scent. The scent, slightly reminiscent of musty, intensifies with age. It blends well with benzoin absolute as well as the essential oils of agarwood, ambrette, bergamot, bucchus, cinnamon, cedar, cistus, copaiba, frankincense, myrrh, opoponax, ravensara, clary sage, and vetiver.
Property
Patchouli essential oil, a well-known natural fungicide, has proven antifungal, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and stimulating properties, as well as being an effective insect repellent. It is also prized for its antidepressant and aphrodisiac properties, which have been attributed to it for centuries. In the East, it is still common to treat seborrhea of the scalp by rubbing it with patchouli oil, thanks to its proven trichological properties. The use of this product to deodorize clothes and linens, rightly considered an effective prophylactic, is also very ancient.
Uses
It is used in cosmetics and perfumery both as a fragrance component and as a fixative. Oriental-inspired soaps and cosmetics often contain a fraction of this essential oil in their formulas. It is also widely used in the food industry, both in the production of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and as a masking agent.
Botany
Native to tropical Asia (Indonesia and the Philippines), patchouli is widely cultivated—beyond its native regions—in China, India, Thailand, and Malaysia, both for its oil and as an antidote to venomous snakebites. It is a bushy herbaceous plant that grows to nearly a meter tall, with a sturdy stem, large, fragrant leaves, and white, purplish-red flowers clustered in spikes.
