Patchouli

Derived from the leaves of Pogostemon cablin, a plant in the mint family native to the Philippines. China, India, Indonesia, and Philippines are major producers. The leaves and stems are cut and steam distilled. The resultant oil is allowed to age. The leaves yield about 3-5% oil by dry weight. This oil was especially popular during the 1960’s.
