Patchouli has a distinct fragrance that is deep, earthy, and musky. This plant has been used for centuries, most notably as a perfume and as an insect and bug repellant. 10 gallons of this "liquid gold" was even found buried in King Tut's tomb! This wonderful oil is still used today for similar uses in both aromatherapy and natural remedies for health and home.
