About this product
Deep, earthy and luxuriously aromatic, Forest Clay Patchouli Essential Oil offers a rich woody fragrance with sweet, balsamic, herbaceous and subtly smoky undertones. Steam-distilled from the dried leaves of Pogostemon cablin, it is ideal for grounding diffuser blends, diluted skincare, hair and scalp care, massage oils, natural perfumery and sophisticated home fragrance.
Its warm, long-lasting character works beautifully as a fragrance base note and blends especially well with Bergamot, Lavender, Geranium, Rose, Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Frankincense, Myrrh and Sweet Orange Essential Oils.
