I am not much of a fan of Patchouli in general. I have acquired a number of different oils from all
over the world but I was yet to find one that WOWED me.
Well, finally, here it is. This Patchouli has to be one of the finest, luxurious and cleanest Patchouli oils I have ever had the pleasure of smelling. I put this one straight onto my skin. No scent strip. And
WOW. This oil is almost a perfume in itself. It has so many facets to it. Straight up, I get the typical
Patchouli scent but without the harsh medicinal smell its so well known for. Slightly fruity, almost a
sultana/rum scent. After 15 mins or so, this wonderful sweet woody nuance appears with a tiny
chocolatey nuance in the background and its so soft and gentle, like a warm fluffy blanket. I can even
detect ever so slightly, a wisp of floral as well. Heading into the drydown, I get this lovely light clean
musk coming in to settle for the rest of its harmonious script. What a gorgeous Patchouli this is and I
am very honoured to have acquired this amazing artisan oil. It is pure unadulterated luxe in my
opinion. For someone like me that never liked Patchouli that much, I LOVE this one.
You wont be disappointed with this one. This would be beautiful with Mysore Sandalwood, and
some Oakwood to produce some nice boozy accords. Or as a fixative and to add that special
something in your blends and formulas. This oil comes from a private distiller in Indonesia that specialises in traditional disillation of sandalwoods and patchouli.
