Umuthi Patchouli (Light) Pure Essential Oil

<p>
Umuthi Patchouli (Light) Pure Essential Oil is a steam-distilled essential oil from the leaves of
<em>Pogostemon cablin</em>
. It has a rich, earthy, woody, musky aroma that becomes smoother and more rounded with age, making it a classic base
note in natural perfumery and aromatic blending. Light patchouli is distilled in stainless steel vats, which gives it
a lighter colour than dark patchouli distilled in cast iron, with only a slight effect on the scent. It is a beautiful
choice for grounding blends, skin and hair formulations, insect-repellent style products, and deeper fragrance
profiles.
</p>
<p>
♡ Why we love it: Patchouli Light brings depth, warmth, and unmistakable character to a blend. It is especially useful
when you want a long-lasting base note that feels earthy, sensual, and grounding without being quite as heavy-looking
as darker patchouli oils.
