About this gift

Rich, musky-sweet and a little spicy, patchouli is the scent of linen sachets and 1960s and 70s incense. This 50 ml essential oil is for anyone who loves deep, earthy fragrance, whether they are new to oils or keep a full shelf of them.

It comes from Pogostemon cablin, a plant of the mint family. The young leaves are dried and fermented, then steam distilled, which means steam is passed through the leaves to carry the oil out. The name comes from the Tamil 'pachchai ilai', meaning 'green leaf', and the oil's fragrance deepens with age.

Patchouli has a long history in home fragrance. In eastern countries it is traditionally used in potpourri and in sachets between linen and clothes, and in Victorian times it was packed between Indian cashmere shawls to keep moths off. Warm it in an oil burner and that same story fills the room, a classic scent worth keeping close.

A good gift for: patchouli lovers, home fragrance fans, witchy friends, oil burner owners.
