Umuthi Patchouli Light Pure Essential Oil - 30ML

Umuthi Patchouli (Light) Pure Essential Oil is a steam-distilled essential oil from the leaves of Pogostemon cablin . 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. 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.
