▎Essential Oil Introduction
Patchouli, derived from the Tamil words "patchi" meaning "green" and "ilai" meaning "leaf," is a sturdy plant with stems reaching about 1 meter in height and producing small, pale pink flowers. Native to tropical regions of Southeast Asia, patchouli was initially used as an insect repellent. When introduced to Europe, its applications expanded to include perfumes and the textile industry. Today, it is widely cultivated in countries such as China, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
The production of patchouli essential oil is akin to winemaking. The leaves are dried and fermented before undergoing distillation. The slight fermentation or drying process enhances the aroma, making it richer and more fragrant over time, much like aging wine. This unique aromatic quality, with its slow evaporation rate, has made patchouli an indispensable fixative in perfume production. Patchouli leaves can be harvested multiple times a year and, once dried, can be exported for distillation.
