Profile -
Patchouli is a fragrant herb, with soft, egg-shaped leaves and square
stems, grows from 2 to 3 feet in height, giving out the peculiar,
characteristic odor of patchouli when rubbed. The crop is cut two or
three times a year, the leaves being dried and packed in bales and
exported for distillation of the oil. The best oil is freshly distilled
near the plantations. That obtained from leaves imported into Europe,
often damaged and adulterated even up to 80 per cent, is inferior. It is
used in coarser perfumes and in ‘White Rose’ and ‘Oriental’ toilet
soaps. Sachets are made of the coarsely powdered leaves, and before its
common use in Europe, genuine Indian shawls and Indian ink were
distinguished by the odor, which has the unusual quality of improving
with age. Hence the older oil is preferred by perfumers and used to
confer more lasting properties upon other scents. Essential oil is
obtained by steam distillation of the dried leaves.
