Interesting facts: Patchouli is a very fragrant herb with soft oval leaves and square stems. It grows from 0,6-1 meter in height and provides an unusual odor that is characteristic of patchouli when the leaves are rubbed. The color of the Patchouli oil is affected by the distillation machine. If distillation is done in Stainless steel then the color will be light, hence if done in Iron then the color will be darker. In the perfumery industry, it is interesting to note that Patchouli improves with age, and that the aged product is what is preferred over freshly harvested. In aromatherapy, Patchouli is an excellent fixative that can help extend other, more expensive oils. Before it became popular in Europe, Indian shawls and Indian ink were identified by the unique patchouli odor.
