Patchouli leaves (cut) - Pogostemom cablin - from Indonesia. Patchouli has a deep, intense, woody fragrance. (a.k.a patchouly) In India, people use patchouli on valuable clothing and carpets to repel moths. The famous Indian cashmere shawls were delicately scented by being stored in wooden containers aromatized with patchouli oil. The Arabs took large quantities of patchouly with them on pilgramages, stuffing it into mattresses and pillows to ward off contagious disease. In the U.S. patchouli was very popular with the hippie culture of the 1960's. Patchouli has excellent fixative properties and mixes very well with vetiver, sandalwood and myrrh.
