Product Description
Patchouli Essential Oil Organic is meticulously obtained through steam distillation from the dried leaves of the patchouli plant (Pogostemon cablin). This process yields a distinctive sweet and rich aroma, highly prized in perfumery, room diffusers, and soap production. Beyond its aromatic appeal, Patchouli Essential Oil is traditionally used in aromatherapy for its grounding, balancing aroma, making it an excellent choice for crafting specialised formulations like massage blends.

Frequently asked questions
What does organic patchouli essential oil smell like?
It has a rich, earthy, woody-sweet aroma with a dark, slightly spicy depth. Patchouli is a classic base note that anchors and fixes lighter top notes in perfumes, soaps and candles, and it tends to mellow and deepen with age.
What is it made from and where does it come from?
It is the steam-distilled oil of patchouli leaves, Pogostemon cablin (INCI: Pogostemon Cablin Leaf Oil), from Indonesia. This is the organic grade; a standard grade is also available if you do not need an organic claim.
Can it be used as a food flavouring?
Yes. It is suitable for food flavouring use under EU 1334/2008 (FEMA 2838), subject to the usual formulation considerations. Use it sparingly: a little goes a long way.
What pack sizes and safety documents are available?
From 100 ml up to a 5 kg pack, all priced online. The SDS, IFRA certificate, EU allergens declaration and specification are available; use the IFRA certificate to set the maximum level for each product category.
