Patchouli
Patchouli is a fragrant plant native to Southeast Asia, widely used in perfumery for its rich, earthy aroma. It is derived from the leaves of the Pogostemon cablin plant, which are steam-distilled to produce essential oil. Patchouli is often associated with a warm, musky scent that can evoke feelings of relaxation and grounding. This versatile ingredient is frequently found in oriental, woody, and aromatic perfumes, enhancing blends with depth and complexity, and is also popular in aromatherapy and incense.
