Organic essential oil PATCHOULI is produced through steam distillation of patchouli leaves – Pogostemon cablin. It comes into Amon & Anis bottles from organic plantations in Madagascar. This essential oil is certified organic & food grade – Bio Aroma.
Patchouli’s sweet, musky and earthly scent is very grounding. Although the plant itself is quite average in appearance, it is its intoxicating, magnetic aroma that makes it stand out. It is the reason why it has always been much favoured in perfumery.
Its alluring aroma is also beneficial, as it relieves unpleasant feelings and regulates our mood. It is known for its aphrodisiac properties and some even point out its influence on hormones. Patchouli essential oil is also valued in cosmetics, where it is used in skin regeneration products, for scars, acne, inflammation, and in hair care products.
