Organic Patchouli Oil
Organic Patchouli Oil is a deep, earthy, and musky essential oil extracted from the leaves of organically grown Pogostemon cablin. Cultivated without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers, the leaves are harvested, shade-dried, and then steam-distilled to produce an oil rich in natural aromatic compounds.
