PATCHOULI ESSENTIAL OIL – 10ml

Patchouli Essential Oil is a rich, musky-sweet aroma derived from the Pogostemon cablin plant, a member of the mint family. Revered for its balancing effects on emotions and its regenerative properties, this oil has been cherished for centuries. Its fragrance matures and intensifies with age, making it a timeless favourite in skincare and aromatherapy.

Patchouli oil is renowned for its ability to soothe and heal the skin. It aids in scar healing, acne, eczema, and fungal infections while promoting tissue regeneration. In bath water, it is said to alleviate skin and scalp issues, cellulite, and even fluid retention. When diffused, it creates a calming ambiance, easing anxiety and depression while promoting an amorous atmosphere.

Historically, Patchouli oil was used in potpourri, sachets, and linen to repel insects and add a luxurious fragrance. It was a hallmark of the Victorian era, where its scent accompanied Indian cashmere shawls to protect them from moths. This iconic aroma gained immense popularity in the 1960s and 70s for its earthy scent, symbolising freedom and individuality.
