Patchouli Essential Oil - Dark
|
 Botanical Name: Pogostemon cablin
Plant Part: Leaves
Extraction Method: Steam
Origin: Indonesia
Description: Patchouli is a very fragrant herb with soft oval leaves and square stems. It grows from 2 to 3 feet in height and provides an unusual odor that is nonetheless characteristic of patchouli when the leaves are rubbed. The color of the Patchouli oil is affected by the distillation machine. If distillation is done in Stainless steel then the color will be light, hence if done in Iron then the color will be darker.
Color: Deep Golden Brown
Common Uses: Patchouli is recognized by aromatherapists as being effective for combating nervous disorders, helping with dandruff, sores, acne, skin irritations and acne. The specific properties include use as an antidepressant, anti-inflammatory, anti-emetic, antimicrobal, antiphlogistic, antiseptic, antitoxic, antiviral, aphrodisiac, astringent, bactericidal, carminative, deodorant, digestive, diuretic, febrifuge, fungicidal, nerving, prophylactic, stimulating and tonic agent. In the perfumery industry, it is interesting to note that Patchouli improves with age, and that the aged product is what is preferred over freshly harvested. In aromatherapy, Patchouli is an excellent fixative that can help extend other, more expensive oils.

Note: Base
Strength of Aroma: Medium
Blends well with: Patchouli blends well with sandalwood, bergamot, cedarwood, rose, sweet orange, cassia, myrrh, opopanax, and clary sage.

History: Before it became popular in Europe, Indian shawls and Indian ink were identified by the unique patchouli odor.
Cautions: None Known

This Patchouli is earthy, sultry and sexy. I have never been a fan of Patchouli, but this one is outstanding. Fantastic in blending and a little goes a long way.

Patchouli Dark is a fabulous essential oil. I bought it because I heard it was great for the skin.....which it is. But it turns out ONE DROP blended with Orange is the most amazing personal perfume.. It's like a magnet...it draws people to you..Don't wear it if you feel like being alone :)
ND really has a winner with this high quality oil..

I am not a fan of Patchouli but my husband thought it was great. The scent is right on, I just don't like it. I bought it because everyone else LOVES this scent so much. A+ quality oil.

I am a soapmaker and I love keeping my products as mild, natural, and people friendly as possible. I have been a customer for over a year now and have never been disappointed with my ND shipments. The ND Patchouli is sooo nice...I buy them two at a time so I can let it "cure" a bit...like wine, patchouli oil gets better with age. I love the aluminum bottles, the quality, the price....everything about it! I am so glad that I stumbled across New Directions website when I began my business. I've ordered from other companies and have had higher prices paired with lower quality products. I know that whether I'm ordering yummy Patchouli and other essential oils or base oils for my soap, I will always get a high quality product from you guys! Thanks so much New Directions!

As a Patchuli lover I have used ND for years - never found any better quality or price. I use it daily after the shower mixed with Jojoba, Macademia & Linseed oils and neroli 3% (also from ND) as body moisturizer. I have heard comments like "I knew you were in the store because of your perfume - what is it? it smells soooo good." The other day a couple of women stopped me in a store in Guatemala (where I live part-time) and they wanted to know where I bought it. If you ship to Guatemala it would be great - have found some here at a horrible price and quality. Thank you New Directions for your great qualities and prices.

I love this oil...it has a rich earthiness that appeals to me, and it seems mysterious too in a way...as if I went to , say, Morocco, maybe...when I smell this oil, I feel carried away by it.

This is the best patchouli ever! Rich, earthy, and delicious! I recently paid three times the price for the same amount at a local place and that one doesn't even compare. This will be the only place I buy my patchouli from now on.

For an woody-oriental smell lover, I was happy to find a gorgeous pathchouli like this one. It has made me love patchouli all over again! I am very anxious to soap with this one, needless to say!

I've had a half ounce bottle for only a couple weeks and I need to order more soon. It's really that good. I use this for so many things. What a great scent.

This is the best Patchouli I have smelled. I am disappointed that I only ordered a half ounce. I plan to reorder a bigger bottle.

Patchouli can successully be mixed with other essential oils (orange, cinnamon etc) and its earthy smell is hot and comforting. A good patchouli soap is addictive. This oil is very good.

I can see why some would not like the scent from the bottle and I agree used in excess COULD smell like tobacco to the sensitive, however if you are a patchouli lover then get the big bottle! I can NOT believe I only got 1/2 an ounce!

Not a nice scent from the bottle (in my opinion) but it adds an earthy smell to blends that reminds me of India. Even though it is not my personal choice the quality is great and the medicinal uses make it worth having in your kit.

I am not a huge patchouli fan, yet it is a must in perfumery. This oil is wonderful, will definitely get better with age. A great investment.
