Ingredient

Patchouli

Pogostemon cablin

Rich, earthy, and unmistakably distinctive, patchouli is one of the most complex and enduring botanicals in natural wellness. Its deeply grounding aroma has a well-documented ability to ease anxiety, relieve tension, and restore a sense of calm - while its active compounds work simultaneously on the skin to deeply nourish, soothe inflammation, and support the healing of dry, irritated, or damaged tissue.

Frequently asked questions about Patchouli

What is Patchouli?
Pogostemon cablin, steam-distilled from the dried leaves of the patchouli plant. One of the most distinctive and long-lasting aromas in natural perfumery.
Why is patchouli polarising?
It became strongly associated with 1960s counterculture, which left some people with strong nostalgic reactions in either direction. Modern, properly aged patchouli is far more refined than its hippy reputation suggests.
What is it used for?
Grounding aromatherapy blends, skin-supporting carrier oil combinations, and natural perfumery as a long-lasting base note.
