Essence de Patchouli

Down-to-earth and authentic individuals. They are often associated with a bohemian atmosphere and appreciate natural things. They feel strong, confident, bold, and seductive.

Patchouli is a plant that grows in Indonesia, China and India. During the Middle Ages, its leaves were used by precious cloth traders to protect them from insects during long ship voyages to the West. Its smell became famous among the Western bourgeoisie, and was immediately associated with the preciousness of the objects it was protecting.

Nowadays, Patchouli is one of the most used oils in the world of perfumeries. Its woody and undergrowth smell, with a hint of bitter chocolate in its most precious forms, is an excellent background ingredient, which makes the fragrance very persistent.
