Patchouli
Leaf
Industrial
The essential oil from the leaves is an important ingredient in many perfumes. It is also used in a range of other products including toiletries, cosmetics, breath fresheners, incense, insecticides, insect repellents and disinfectants. In Thailand a preparation of equal parts of P. cablin leaves, guava and orange peel is recommended against diarrhoea. In aromatherapy it is used as a relaxant. Patchouli oil steam distilled from P. cablin leaves is almost universally used as a fixing agent in perfumery, blending beautifully with an exceptionally wide range of fragrance and body-care materials.
