Patchouli oil is a significant pharmaceutical raw material and a valuable natural flavouring in the spice industry. It emanates a distinctive woody, earthy, and herbaceous aroma. The raw material, patchouli (Pogostemon cablin), is native to Indonesia and the Philippines. Fresh patchouli leaves are almost odourless; their persistent woody aroma, complemented by notes of hay, spices, earth, and camphor, only emerges after fermentation and drying.
The patchouli oil we supply is obtained by distilling fresh patchouli leaves harvested by farmers after drying them in the sun.
