Patchouli is a plant from Indonesia. Its leaves, once distilled, reveal an oil with a woody, moist, or earthy scent. This fragrance reached Europe via trunks laden with shawls from India. Patchouli has insecticidal properties; precious fabrics were once wrapped in it to protect them from moths. After falling into disuse before the second half of the 20th century, it was revived by American hippies. It is one of the most important raw materials in perfumery, as it allows for structuring a composition, adding complexity or depth. Our patchouli enhances all its facets with the help of cashmere and cocoa essence.
