## About
Comfort is the first thought on breathing it in, an enveloping comfort, round and full, like a heavy wool blanket by the fire. This is not the patchouli of 1960s memory. It is something finer.Organically produced in Indonesia and steam distilled from the leaves of Pogostemon patchouli, it is layered, with a subtle hint of musk, round and all-encompassing. It is a patchouli for perfumery, exquisite enough to keep for special occasions rather than every day. Beside our sharper, almost chocolatey Patchouli Dark, it is the rounder and prettier of the two. Stored properly, away from heat and light, it should age very well.DetailsBotanical name: Pogostemon patchouliPlant part: leaves, organically producedMethod: steam distillationOrigin: IndonesiaShelf life: about 5 to 8 years after opening by the official estimate; with proper storage it could be much longerHow to useBuild a perfume around it as the base note, or wear a properly diluted drop on an evening that deserves it.
