This patchouli incense is made from the dried leaves of Pogostemon patchouli. Its deep, earthy-spicy smoke creates a warm, sensual mood in a room.
About patchouli
Patchouli's signature scent only develops during curing after harvest — that process gives the plant its deep, warm character. It is one of the best-known earthy scents among incenses.
Tradition and atmosphere
Tradition holds that patchouli smoke is enlivening and thought-provoking, yet grounding and warming; it is said to ease fear and insecurity. Because of its sensual character, it is a favourite for creating an intimate, relaxed mood.
How to use it
Place a pinch of the dried leaf on glowing charcoal in a heatproof dish, or on a sieve burner. It blends well with other sensual incenses such as rose or cinnamon.
Good to know
A natural plant product, so colour and piece size vary. Burn with good ventilation.
