Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin) is characterized by a scent that is earthy, herbaceous, sweet-balsamic, and rich with woody undertones. It is a base-note fragrance that has an odor intensity of about four out of five. Blending companions include frankincense, clary sage, lavender, geranium, sandalwood, rose, and citrus. Patchouli is known to possess anti-inflammatory, wound healing, and antidepressant properties; it is widely used for mature skin care. For emotional well-being, patchouli oil is used for meditation, sexual arousal, and for manifesting desired wealth; it can also quiet mental overactivity. When shawls from India were sold in England without the signature odor of patchouli, used to deter bugs, sales lagged. The essential oil is distilled from the dried and fermented leaves and is even used to flavor soft drinks.
