## About
Late evening, velvet curtains drawn, a single lamp: Patchouli Dark belongs to that kind of room. It is deep, dark and mysterious, not sweet but sultry, and there are secrets in it.It is Pogostemon cablin, conventionally farmed in Sumatra. We call it Dark not for its color, which is a lovely light amber, but for its aroma: it is the deepest base note of all our patchouli oils. Beside our Organic Patchouli it is sharper, darker, more exotic and almost chocolatey, though not as round or pretty. Two patchoulis, on different missions.DetailsBotanical name: Pogostemon cablinOrigin: Sumatra, conventionally farmedColor: light amberShelf life: about 5 to 8 years after opening by the official estimate; with proper storage it could be much longerHow to useUse it as the base of a perfume blend, where it anchors brighter notes and gives them shadow. Dilute it in a carrier before it touches skin, and keep it out of reach of children. Store it in the dark, refrigerated if you can, and decant a half-empty bottle into a smaller, full one.For the patchouli lover who likes the shadows.
