Patchouli aromatic moments
Patchouli, origin from the 19th century is a heavy sensual oil of a south Asian mint family.
Coming from tropical Asia, it is widely cultivated and has been used for centuries for its deep rich aromatic essential oil.
It was first used for medical purposes such as insect repellent.
The leaves are a light yellow to dark brown color, where the thick oil is held. This source is used for essential oil used for fragrance in perfumes, cosmetics, and incense. In the Victorian era, the dried leaves became one of the main elements used in the making of potpourri.
