About this product
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.
Details
- Botanical name: Pogostemon patchouli
- Plant part: leaves, organically produced
- Method: steam distillation
- Origin: Indonesia

How to use
Build a perfume around it as the base note, or wear a properly diluted drop on an evening that deserves it. Keep it out of reach of children, and store it in the dark, refrigerated if you can, decanting a half-empty bottle into a smaller, full one.
For the evenings worth remembering.
