Patchouli is an earthy, mineral-woody note. From hippie symbol of the 1970s it has become the spine of modern chypres.
Patchouli in perfumery
Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin) is an Indonesian member of the mint family. Steam distillation of its dried leaves yields one of perfumery's essential base materials — earthy, slightly camphoraceous, with a chocolate-like undertone that deepens as the oil ages.
How patchouli builds a fragrance
Patchouli sits in the base, lending body and dry resonance to chypre, oriental and modern niche compositions. It marries beautifully with rose, amber, oud and gourmand notes, creating new dimensions of warmth and persistence.
