Patchouli EO
Used in 3 formulas
About this material
Patchouli essential oil opens with a rich, earthy aroma that has a distinct herbal quality, often described as slightly sweet and woody. As it develops, the scent becomes more complex, revealing deeper, balsamic notes that can evoke a sense of warmth and depth. In a formula, patchouli acts as a fixative, helping to anchor lighter notes and prolong the overall scent experience. It pairs well with florals, spices, and citrus, adding a grounding element that enhances the overall composition. The typical dose in this catalogue is around 1.200%, with a range from 1.200% to 1.20%.
