About this material
Patchouli Oil Dark Patchoulol opens with a rich, earthy aroma that is unmistakably deep and slightly sweet, reminiscent of damp forest floor and dark chocolate. As it develops, the scent reveals a warm, woody character with a hint of spice, creating a complex and grounding presence. In a formula, it acts as a fixative, enhancing longevity and depth while providing a robust base that supports other notes. It pairs well with florals, especially those with a creamy or fruity aspect, as well as with other woods and resins to create a rich, layered effect. The typical dose ranges from 0.060% to 11.94%, with most formulas using around 2.200%.
