Essential Oils
A herbaceous plant native to Indonesia, it has oval, broad, serrated leaves. No odour is released when it is fresh, only its fermentation allows aromatic molecules to be obtained. An essential oil discovered in Europe by perfumers in the mid-nineteenth century, it is also associated with the great wind of freedom that blew during the hippie period. Its round, warm and bewitching fragrances invite you to travel to the East.

True Patchouli essential oil is only distantly related to the widespread perfume of the past. This is a natural essential oil, quite thick, complex and nuanced, rarely felt as overpowering.
