Native to tropical areas of Asia, the Patchouli plant (Pogostemon cablin) is a bushy herb that is a member of the mint family. It grows to around 0.75 metres high and produces small pale pink / white flowers. The essential oil is extracted from the dried and lightly fermented leaves of the plant using steam distillation. With its distinctive musky-sweet, strong spicy and herbaceous aroma, the essential oil is grounding and is also purported to be beneficial for aging skin.
