Indian Patchouli

Indian patchouli is an aromatic herb from the Pogostemon cablin species, extensively cultivated in various regions of India. The scent profile of Indian patchouli is rich, earthy, and musky with a slightly sweet undertone. This distinctive fragrance is due to the essential oils derived from the dried leaves of the plant. Indian patchouli is often deeper and more intense compared to patchouli from other regions, reflecting the unique soil and climatic conditions where it is grown.

The warm, woody base notes are complemented by subtle hints of spice and a faint green, fresh quality. This complex scent profile makes Indian patchouli a favorite among perfumers and aromatherapists. It is commonly used in perfumes, incense, and as a base note in various fragrance products to add depth and longevity. Its rich aroma is also thought to have grounding and balancing properties, making it popular in holistic practices for promoting relaxation and alleviating stress.
