Patchouli essential oil is considered an excellent base note in perfumery and was a favorite scent among the young, upbeat crowd during its debut in the 1960’s.  The distinct rich, earthy and musky aroma is widely recognized, and was popular among religious groups and spiritual minded individuals. The essential oil offers amazing skin care benefits and can soften the appearance of blemishes, minor scars and wrinkles.*  Patchouli offers a soothing aroma when diffused, for quiet times of meditation or solitude.
