Deep, earthy and musky-sweet, this organic patchouli essential oil brings a slow, resinous warmth to a room. Steam distilled from the dried leaves of Pogostemon cablin, it has a spicy, grounded character that lingers beautifully in a burner, diffuser blend or handmade fragrance.

How to use it safely
Add a few drops to an oil burner or suitable diffuser, following the instructions for your device. For massage or skin use, dilute well in a carrier oil first and patch test before wider use.
Do not use essential oils undiluted on the skin. Avoid use during pregnancy, with young children, or around pets unless guided by a qualified professional. Store closed, upright and away from heat and direct sunlight.
