Deriving its name from the Tamil language, Patchouli means “green leaf”. A robust and extremely fragrant plant, Patchouli’s scent has been a staple in perfumery for centuries. Due to its insect-repellant properties, silk and cashmere traders folded Patchouli leaves inside their merchandise. The hearty fragrance became embedded in the fabrics, creating an air of allure and exoticism that delighted the recipients of the goods. Patchouli’s distinctive aroma is earthy and sensual. Its evocative scent adds mystery and sensuality.
