The leaves have to be dried before the characteristic smell appears. Beyond perfumery, the plant has long been used for medicinal purposes, in cooking, and even in folk rituals meant to attract fortune or love.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"cb-sec\" id=\"oil\">\n  <h2 class=\"cb-h2\">From leaf to essential oil<\/h2>\n  <p>Patchouli essence is one of the most widely used natural raw materials in the fragrance industry. Worldwide production of the essential oil comes to around 1,500 tonnes a year, and close to 90% of it comes straight from Indonesia.<\/p>\n  <p>The leaves are first dried in the shade for a few days, taking care that they do not ferment. They are then steam distilled for several hours, which yields an oil rich in facets.<\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"cb-chiffres\">\n    <div class=\"cb-chiffre\"><div class=\"cb-chiffre-num\">250 kg<\/div><div class=\"cb-chiffre-txt\">of fresh leaves<\/div><\/div>\n    <div class=\"cb-chiffre\"><div class=\"cb-chiffre-num\">50 kg<\/div><div class=\"cb-chiffre-txt\">of dried patchouli<\/div><\/div>\n    <div class=\"cb-chiffre\"><div class=\"cb-chiffre-num\">1 kg<\/div><div class=\"cb-chiffre-txt\">of essential oil<\/div><\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <p>To picture the whole chain, our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/carrementbelle.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/06\/02\/perfume-making\/\">how a perfume is made<\/a> follows the raw material from field to bottle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"cb-sec\" id=\"smell\">\n  <h2 class=\"cb-h2\">What does patchouli smell like?<\/h2>\n  <p><strong>Patchouli smells woody, earthy and slightly damp, with a resinous depth and a camphor edge.<\/strong> The oil drawn from the leaf is around 40% patchoulol, the odorant molecule that carries this signature.<\/p>\n  <p>Some noses also find shades of mustiness in it, close to an overripe apple or a wine cork. That is exactly where the perfumer's skill comes in: everything is a question of dosing and pairing, so that patchouli reveals its noble facets rather than its heavy ones.<\/p>\n  <div class=\"cb-pull\">Patchouli is not a discreet raw material. It is a raw material that has to be tamed.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"cb-sec\" id=\"history\">\n  <h2 class=\"cb-h2\">How patchouli entered perfumery<\/h2>\n  <p>The origin is unexpected. Thanks to their anti-moth properties, patchouli leaves reached Europe along the Silk Road. During the Second Empire, French demand for silk exploded and fabrics were imported from India and Indonesia. To protect the shawls from moths on the sea voyage, they were wrapped in patchouli leaves.<\/p>\n  <p>Displayed in the smart shops of Paris, some shawls sold faster than others. Women were not choosing them for their patterns, but for their smell: they went for the ones soaked in the scent of patchouli.<\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"cb-note\">\n    <div class=\"cb-note-label\">A French expression born from patchouli<\/div>\n    <p>Patchouli quickly became associated with the demi-mondaines, the women kept by wealthy Parisians. Often overdosed and always daring, it left its mark on the French expression \"ca cocotte\", long used to mock a scent judged too loud, and above all the women who wore it.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n  <p>Noses then began using it as a fixative for more volatile notes, thanks to its stability. It stayed discreet until 1917, when a chypre composition placed it alongside bergamot and oak moss and opened the way to a whole <a href=\"https:\/\/carrementbelle.com\/blog\/en\/2020\/09\/16\/the-7-olfactory-families\/\">olfactory family<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"cb-sec\" id=\"seventies\">\n  <h2 class=\"cb-h2\">From the seventies to today<\/h2>\n  <p>In the sixties and seventies, patchouli became truly iconic. A whole generation carried small vials of patchouli essence, often of poor quality and always very powerful. It stood for a new spirituality from the East and for sexual liberation, and became the emblem of a youth that preached peace, freedom and travel.<\/p>\n  <p>Overdosed, it eventually wore thin. It nearly vanished from compositions in the eighties, giving way to fresh marine scents, then made a real comeback in the nineties alongside more <a href=\"https:\/\/carrementbelle.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/12\/18\/gourmand-perfume-addictive-notes\/\">gourmand notes<\/a>. Since then it has inspired creators who made it the heart of beautiful fragrances, for women and for men alike. Our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/carrementbelle.com\/blog\/en\/2023\/11\/21\/patchouli-a-unisex-fragrance-2\/\">patchouli as a unisex fragrance<\/a> looks at that shift, and <a href=\"https:\/\/carrementbelle.com\/blog\/en\/2023\/06\/18\/patchouli-70s\/\">its seventies story<\/a> tells the rest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"cb-sec\" id=\"ours\">\n  <h2 class=\"cb-h2\">Our patchouli fragrances<\/h2>\n  <p>Patchouli has inspired us since Carrement Belle was founded. So much so that three of our fragrances are built around this addictive material.<\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"cb-produits\">\n    <div class=\"cb-produits-label\">ippi patchouli, the timeless one<\/div>\n    <p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/carrementbelle.com\/en\/eaux-de-parfum\/2-ippi-patchouli.html\">ippi patchouli eau de parfum<\/a> is our first creation, and it has been our customers' favourite since 1988. The earthy, woody notes of patchouli essence light up a sweet tuberose, then blend into the warm, musky scent of labdanum. Also available as a <a href=\"https:\/\/carrementbelle.com\/en\/pure-perfumes\/12-ippi-patchouli.html\">perfume extract<\/a> and as a <a href=\"https:\/\/carrementbelle.com\/en\/home-fragrance-diffusers\/136-ippi-patchouli.html\">diffuser<\/a>.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"cb-produits\">\n    <div class=\"cb-produits-label\">kilim, patchouli from the East<\/div>\n    <p><a href=\"https:\/\/carrementbelle.com\/en\/eaux-de-parfum\/3-kilim.html\">kilim<\/a>, our second patchouli, takes a more oriental turn. The sweet zest of an orange sets the resinous shades sparkling, warmed by the camphor and spice of clove leaves. Here patchouli turns more fruity than earthy. Also available as a <a href=\"https:\/\/carrementbelle.com\/en\/pure-perfumes\/13-kilim.html\">perfume extract<\/a> and as a <a href=\"https:\/\/carrementbelle.com\/en\/home-fragrance-diffusers\/137-kilim.html\">diffuser<\/a>.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"cb-produits\">\n    <div class=\"cb-produits-label\">ippi patchouli clair, sunlit and gourmand<\/div>\n    <p><a href=\"https:\/\/carrementbelle.com\/en\/eaux-de-parfum\/36-ippi-patchouli-edp-claire.html\">ippi patchouli clair<\/a> pays tribute to its elder. Its heart stays woody and raw, but its opening is fresher, brightened by citrus and solar accents, before melting into a praline base. Also available as a <a href=\"https:\/\/carrementbelle.com\/en\/home-fragrance-diffusers\/146-ippi-patchouli-clair.html\">diffuser<\/a>.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <p>Hesitating between the three? The <a href=\"https:\/\/carrementbelle.com\/en\/scented-sets\/48-the-patchouli-addict.html\">La Patchouli Addict gift set<\/a> brings them together in one colourful wrap.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"cb-sec\" id=\"extract\">\n  <h2 class=\"cb-h2\">Patchouli as a perfume extract<\/h2>\n  <p><strong>ippi patchouli and kilim both exist as a perfume extract, the most concentrated form of a fragrance.<\/strong> The formula is identical to the eau de parfum: only the share of odorant raw materials changes, which makes the composition more intense and longer lasting.<\/p>\n  <p>On a raw material as deep as patchouli, that concentration is felt straight away. The earthy and resinous facets gain in presence, the woody base settles closer to the skin.
