Patchouli Essential Oil, extracted from the leaves of the Pogostemon cablin plant through steam distillation, has a rich history and diverse array of uses. Native to tropical regions of Asia, particularly Indonesia, India, and the Philippines, Patchouli has been used for centuries in traditional medicine, religious ceremonies, and as a key component in perfumery. In the 19th century, patchouli oil became highly valued in Europe when it was used to scent fabrics such as silk and cashmere, which were imported from the East. The oil is characterised by its deep, earthy, and musky aroma, which becomes richer and more complex as it ages.

Patchouli Essential Oil is renowned for its grounding and calming properties, making it a popular choice in aromatherapy for alleviating stress, anxiety, and depression. It is also celebrated for its skin benefits, known for its ability to regenerate skin cells, reduce the appearance of scars and wrinkles, and treat conditions such as eczema, acne, and dry skin. Additionally, Patchouli Oil possesses anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antibacterial properties, making it effective in treating minor wounds and infections. In perfumery, its distinctive scent serves as a base note, adding depth and longevity to fragrances.

Patchouli Essential Oil is also used as a natural insect repellent and in household products for its deodorising properties. Its enduring appeal lies in its versatility and the rich, aromatic history that spans cultures and centuries.
