| | | Description | | | Patchouli is a very fragrant herb with soft oval leaves and square stems.
It grows from 2 to 3 feet in height and provides an unusual odor that is
nonetheless characteristic of patchouli when the leaves are
rubbed.
Before it became popular in Europe, Indian shawls and
Indian ink were identified by the unique patchouli odor.
