Patchouli
oil is obtained from the steam distillation of the leaves of the odoriferous
plant, native to India. Patchouli is typically distilled in cast iron vessels - this patchouli is distilled in stainless steel, imparting a softer patchouli aroma. This is known as 'iron-free patchouli'; not that there's any reason to shy away from the cast-iron distilled oils, this simply imparts a different aroma. Many who find patchouli a little strong enjoy the lighter aroma of this variety. See our other Patchouli pages for more in-depth information on this wonderful oil.
