FAQs
What does patchouli oil smell like?
Patchouli is earthy, musky and slightly sweet, like damp soil and dark wood. It lingers for hours, which is why perfumers use it as a base note. Try it with sweet orange or vanilla.
How much patchouli should I use in a blend?
Patchouli is strong, so start small: one drop alongside three or four drops of a lighter oil such as orange or bergamot. You can always add more once you smell the result.
