About Our Organic Patchouli Essential Oil From Indonesia Our Organic Patchouli Essential Oil (Pogostemon cablin) is sourced from Indonesia, where generations of cultivation and distillation have established the region as one of the world's premier producers of Patchouli. Every essential oil reflects the choices made throughout its journey, from cultivation and leaf curing to distillation and maturation. Patchouli is especially influenced by these decisions, making production methods an important part of its aromatic character. This particular batch was distilled in stainless steel, an important consideration in the production of high-quality Patchouli essential oil. Unlike traditional iron stills, stainless steel does not contribute subtle metallic nuances to the finished oil, allowing the plant's natural aromatic profile to emerge with exceptional clarity. The result is an unusually transparent expression of Patchouli that retains the remarkable depth and complexity for which this botanical is prized. Rich, earthy, woody, balsamic, mint-like, and gently cocoa-like facets unfold naturally, revealing the remarkable balance that can be achieved through thoughtful cultivation and careful distillation. Beyond its importance in perfumery, Patchouli has long been valued in aromatherapy for supporting healthy skin and connective tissue. Rich in sesquiterpenes and sesquiterpene alcohols, it is frequently incorporated into topical formulations designed to support healthy circulation and maintain healthy skin. Its naturally low volatility also makes it an excellent fixative, helping aromatic blends remain on the skin longer while extending their aromatic presence.
