Background

Pogostemon cablin, also known as Patchouli, is a shrub species from Lamiaceae(mint) family. It is mainly found in Indonesia, parts of Southeast Asia, and Carribean countries. The bushy shrub of Patchouli prefers moist tropics and can grow up to 50-150 cm in height. The rich dark green leaves of this shrub produce an essential oil that is known for its alluring earthy, musky aroma. For centuries, this smell has been relished as incense in religious rituals to calm spirit and mind, and to keep insects away from holy places.

General Information

Ecodrop’s Organic Patchouli Essential oil is prepared from dark green leaves of PogostemonCablin, as the darkest colours yield the best quality oil. The plantation, at a suitable temperature in the tropics of Indonesia, bears high oil content leaves. To reap the darkest colour leaves, they are handpicked between sunrise and sunset when the colour pigment is at its prime. These are then kept in the shade to go fermentation for a few days and then carried to the distillery for extraction of essential oil by the steam distillation process.

    Great value base notes – I’ve been buying various oils recently and this Patchouli is great value. Deep rooted aroma with a nice consistency. Used it in some soaps and air freshener, general blend diffusing. Smells nice and basey.

  • Edinson Restrepo Alizandre

    excellent and authentic patchouli oil – this is an authentic patchouli essential oil, wonderful aroma and last very long on the skin, great product and for the price is a bargain.

  • Susan

    Absolutely wonderful – The Patchouli oil is absolutely wonderful. The fragrance is gorgeous. I put a few drops in my body lotions and in the bath water, it’s fabulous, I also use it in a diffuser. I’m very pleased with my purchase and thoroughly recommend this company.

  • P. Mahoney

    Excellent product. Highly recommend buying from this seller – I bought this for my son who loves Patchouli oil as much as I did 40 yrs ago!!
    This brand in particular is one I would highly recommend as it smells the way Patchouli is meant to.

  • Sweetnothings

    Love this scent. Smells perfect – There is nothing to dislike about this smell.

    When a scent takes you back, this takes me back to when Madonna released her “Like a prayer” CD. The booklet inside was scented with that. Good times.
    Also reminds me of my hippie aunty in the late 80’s as she used to wear patchouli perfume.

    Wind chimes going, female chanting music playing and patchouli oil in the diffuser with patchouli incense burning. Good times.

    Thanks for the memories. 10/10.
