OUR PATCHOULI STORY
Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin Benth.) is a tropical shrub that produces an essential oil known by the same name (patchouli oil). The leaves of this plant are typically harvested for oil extraction, which is then used in the production of perfumes, incense, essential oils, and insect repellents, as well as in the cosmetics industry. In international trade, this substance is known as "patchouli oil"—a term derived from the Tamil words patchai (green) and ellai (leaf)—reflecting the fact that the oil is distilled from the plant's leaves.
