Whether you're an 'antiquated hippie' from the 60s or just enjoy the earthy, sweet, musky aroma, you will be bowled over by this gorgeous oil. Ours is allowed to age and mellow in order to bring out the full potential of the oil. Unlike many essential oils, Patchouli improves with age. In aromatherapy, this oil offers a sense of peacefulness and centeredness. It invokes a walk in the forest after a rainstorm, and is a choice base for lighter oils, adding complexity and a rich, dark roundness to an otherwise top-heavy blend.
