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.

Very, very nice. Has a lovely earthy, woodsy scent that goes well with other woodsy or herbal scents like basil, cedarwood, and rosemary, but also blend surprisingly well with citrus oils like orange, adding a subtle earthiness to the sharp, sweet scent. Absolutely lovely.

When I choose to buy an essential oil with a cheaper price, I am always worried that the quality will be less. Camden-Grey's Patchouli e/o has the same wonderful scent in cp soaps/salves and lotion bars. No loss here.

This Patchouli brings many surprised reactions! I've had many customers smell the soap, and tell me that they prefer it highly over other Pachouli EO's they've tried. Great price too!

I find the Indonesian patchoulis generally smell a bit drier, woodier, and less sweet than the Indian ones and I would say this is a high-quality Indonesian with a particularly woody scent. The price is half that of other suppliers - at first I thought it couldn't be any good but I've found that with CG price is no indicator of quality. Buy a big bottle because it will only get better and thicker as it ages.

This is a fantastic Patchouli EO! I was worried in vain the first time I tried it. It surpassed my expectations and I use it regularly in my CP soaps, bath salts, & creams/lotions. It's what I call a "spiritual" scent. Straight from God, to Mother Earth, to us, and it's a rapture smell that ties it all together. SO many of my customers buy this often and can't get enough. I have Patchouli plants at home and this oil is right on the money.

The Patchouli oil Camden-Grey sells is one of the best smelling Patchouli oils I have encountered- a perfect blend of earthy and woodsy, with a touch of sweet. Blends excellently with lavender and vanilla. I also found that it ages beautifully, with the scent developing over time.
