Q: What does Patchouli Essential Oil smell like?
A: It’s typically deep, earthy, and woody, with a rich base-note character that can add depth to blends.

Q: Why is this listed as a “dark” patchouli oil?
A: Patchouli oils can differ in colour and aroma profile depending on processing and ageing, and darker oils are often associated with a deeper, richer character.

Q: Why might this oil feel thicker than lighter essential oils?
A: Some essential oils naturally have a heavier composition and can feel more viscous, especially in cooler temperatures.
