Origin & Lore

Patchouli, Pogostemon cablin, is a bushy herb from South and Southeast Asia whose dried leaves are used in perfume and incense. Its scent was prized in the Indian trade for centuries and became a hallmark of the 1960s and 70s. In the craft it is worked for both money and love, its earthiness tying it to slow, lasting results.

Patchouli is the scent that divides rooms: earthy, dark and sweet, adored by some and fled from by others.

Patchouli first became widely known in Europe through Indian goods, especially textiles, that arrived scented with it. In the late twentieth century it became the signature scent of the counterculture, partly because it was popular in the head shops and Indian import stores of the time.
