Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin) is a fragrant herb native to Southeast Asia and is part of the mint family. Its leaves are distilled to produce patchouli essential oil, which is known for its rich, earthy, woody, and slightly spicy scent, which deepens and improves with age. Patchouli has a long history in perfumery and is often used to create deep, grounding, and complex fragrances.
