Patchouli (Aceh Barat)

This Patchouli from Aceh Barat Province (West Aceh) in Sumatra has an elegant and alluring fragrance combined with a broad spectrum of healing properties – ranging from depression to dry skin – and is extremely well rounded, reminiscent of chocolate. Its richness comes from growing in the low-lying coastal areas. The provenance of Aceh Barat are also those Patchoulis sought after by the large perfume houses as the high-end oils used in fine perfumery.
