Botanical Name: Pogostemon patchouli
Plant Part: Leaf
Country of Origin: Indonesia
Method of Extraction: Steam Distillation
Patchouli provides an earthy, smoky, spicy and musky scent. Its color ranges from amber to dark brown, will vary from batch to batch. Due to its strong astringent and cicatrizant properties, may be helpful for loose skin, especially after dieting, used in many anti-wrinkle products.
In Jeanne Rose’s very instructive book “375 Essential Oils and Hydrosols” she mentions the following:
“Great in skin care as it regulates cellular tissue, indicated for all aspect of the skin, especially old skin. Also useful for acne and seborrheic eczema. Patchouli is one of the most important and valuable raw materials of the perfume trade. Very good in all soaps and cosmetics.”
“This is one EO that benefits from long storage. After long storage, even up to 20 years, the fragrance deepens and becomes rich and alluring.”
Its diuretic properties are useful in massages in cases of fluid retention and cellulite. Well known to increase libido, considered an aphrodisiac. Relieves effects from insect bites, protects clothes from moths. It is known as a tissue regenerator which helps stimulate regrowth of skin cells and the forming of scar tissue. Heals rough, cracked skin. Useful for treating acne, eczema, fungal infections and scalp disorders including dandruff.
Blends well with black pepper, clary sage, frankincense, geranium, lavender and myrrh. Flash point: 215F.

I have purchased patchouli essential oil from several different suppliers in the past, and Camden Grey without a doubt, has the best Patchouli essential oil out there. Thank you for offering this great product!

I mix it conspicuously with other E.O.'s. Blends beautifully with Lavender 40/42. A little goes a long way and it gets better with age!

I this Patchouli straight in a soaps and a lotion and in a blend and my customers love it! They smell it and they tell me it smells just like they remember it from the 60's and they buy it. Works for me :-)

This is a lighter patchouli, highlighting its floral aspect while maintaining its herbal core. A great blender as it has the balance of strength and delicacy to work well with other fragrances. Thanks for such a warm and bright version of a standard.

Although patchouli is not a personal favorite, I use it to make one of our popular soaps. This is by far the best patchouli oil we've had and the price is excellent.

I have been a longtime customer of Camden Grey's essential oils and have always used their patchouli essential oil in our soap shop's soaps & lotions. I made the huge mistake of using a different patchouli oil obtained from another soaper. I started getting negative feedback from our shop's customers that my lotions no longer had that "sweet & smooth" scent and our soap totally LOST it's scent. I will never use another patchouli as Camden Grey's is truely superior! Our customer's are happy again!

I ordered patchouli for it's theraputic properties primarily but also use it in some of my soap scent blends for that earthy base note it adds so well. On it's own, it would not be my choice, but by the other reviews, lots of others love it's scent. A great price for a great-for-you EO.
