Deep, earthy and musky-sweet, this organic patchouli essential oil brings a slow, resinous warmth to a room. Steam distilled from the dried leaves of Pogostemon cablin, it has a spicy, grounded character that lingers beautifully in a burner, diffuser blend or handmade fragrance.

Do not use essential oils undiluted on the skin. Avoid use during pregnancy, with young children, or around pets unless guided by a qualified professional. Store closed, upright and away from heat and direct sunlight.
