## About
Some oils are bought for today, and some are laid down like wine. This patchouli is both: open it now, or tuck a bottle away in the dark and let the years deepen it.It is a new distillation of wildcrafted Pogostemon patchouli leaves from India, and the first impression is of an oil on its way to becoming a deep, dark patchouli. As it ages it can only improve, which is why we suggest keeping some back for a few years. Patchouli, the oil of the sixties, truly stars as a base note in perfume blends.DetailsBotanical name: Pogostemon patchouliPlant part: leaves, wildcraftedMethod: steam distillationOrigin: IndiaShelf life: about 5 to 8 years after opening by the official estimate; with proper storage it could be much longerBlends with: Bergamot, Clary Sage, Geranium, Lavender, Myrrh, the sweeter citrus oils, Nutmeg, Cinnamon Leaf, and base notes such as Sandalwood and RosewoodHow to usePatchouli is very thick and may struggle through the orifice reducer: lift the reducer out and use a pipette, then be sure to put it back, since it is what seals the bottle. Dilute before skin use, keep it out of reach of children, and store it in the dark, refrigerated if you can.An oil for those who like their pleasures to deepen with time.
