Patchouli
(Pogostemon Cablin)
100% Pure Essential Oil
The aroma of Patchouli is very distinctive and it has been my experience that you either love it's rich, woodsy, balsamic sweetness or you absolutely Do Not! There seems to be no middle ground for this essential oil. That said, I absolutely love the scent of Patchouli, but then again I love masculine, deep aromas and even the smell of a wafting pipe. I love it blended with Ylang ylang and sweet orange.
