Top 6 Patchouli Essential Oil Recipes

Patchouli is a rich, musky scent that is a part of the mint family. It pairs well with soft, round scents, as well as light and bright citrus oils. It’s a strong, grounding scent that’s perfect for deep thinking and connection. It has aphrodisiac properties that make it a great aroma for the bedroom. It is also known to help with skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema.

Patchouli is originally from Asia, but it can be found today all over the world, in the Caribbean to the Americas. It is a small flower that has a distinct perfumed scent. Patchouli is associated with the hippie movement in the 60s and 70s because of its earthy, musky tones.
