Dr. Nick's Notes
Patchouli oil is a fascinating extract produced by the Pogostemon cablin leaves which has a very distinct and pungent smell which lingers. Patchouli is closely related to the mint, lavender, and sage families. The use of the oil was very popular in the counterculture during the sixties and has been considered to be the perfume of the “Hippies” for it’s deodorant & euphoriant properties.
The plant originates from Southeast Asia and is currently cultivated around the world in tropical environments. The oil has a rich history of use and was once valued as the equivalent to gold in weight by traders in Europe! It was revered in ancient Egypt and it is believed that the pharaoh Tutankhamun was buried with 10 gallons of it in his tomb.
Patchouli is very antimicrobial and has a rich history being used to soothe and beautify the skin. Working well as a bug repellent, deodorant to offset / neutralize bad odor . Note that MANY people are sensitive to Patchouli and can be a person repellent too! While it works well as a botanical perfume for some, or as a deodorant for others, it may also dress malodor and be VERY off-putting.
Patchouli may perhaps be one of the most inexpensive golden treasures of the botanical perfumery world – it adds a sweet, earthy base note at ~ 5-10% which is NOT detectable as Patchouli. Energetically calming and uplifting to the spirit with efficacy in supporting the mood, relaxing the nervous system or easing into rest. Very interesting exploration of Patchouli is to vaporize the essential oil using our Firefly or Essential VAAAPP devices – vaporizing the Patchouli essential oil is absolutely psychoactive, similar to cannabis but less cloudiness associated with the experience. Great synergized with Black Pepper essential oil!

Mark C. (Essential Oil Wizardry) –
A fantastic support for meditating.
Clementine (Essential Oil Wizardry) –
Clairolfactance is my 2nd strongest Clare gift. As a child Patchouli lured me in with a hug and it has been a grounding and nurturing fragrance for me my whole life. Whenever I’m in a new place the Patchouli they offer finds me, so I’ve had quite the Patchouli coneseur’s journey. Thus far, my hands up #1 choice is all blends (dark and light) from Doctah Nick and his Essential Oil Hogwarts!
Romo J. (Essential Oil Wizardry) –
Dark, deep, and rich scent, very lively. Perfect for blending with the Royal Hawaiin Sandalwood.
Juan (Essential Oil Wizardry) –
