About this material

Patchouli Heart SFE opens with a rich, earthy aroma that is less pungent than traditional patchouli oils, offering a smoother and more refined profile. The scent develops into a warm, woody character with subtle sweet and balsamic undertones, creating a comforting depth. In a formula, it serves as a grounding base note that enhances the longevity and complexity of compositions, making it particularly effective in both floral and oriental blends. It pairs well with citrus notes to brighten the overall scent, as well as with other woods and resins for a more robust foundation. The typical usage in this catalogue ranges from 0.345% to 11.58%, with a common dose around 2.350%.
