Patchouli is well-known as being a perfume fixative due to its deep scent and complementary nature when mixed with other blends. It tends to be added to lotions and moisturisers due to its skin enhancing properties. You’ll find it frequently used in massage blends as an astringent and a skin tonic. If feeling like your skin needs a bit of an uplift, then patchouli is your best friend. It promotes vitality and can help restore that glow.

Patchouli is a noted aphrodisiac and can tap into our sensual side by creating an amorous atmosphere when diffused.

Patchouli may be phototoxic and should be used in low dilutions so it is recommended to avoid direct sunlight or sun beds for at least 24 hours after using the oil.
