Derived from the steam-distilled leaves of Pogostemon cablin, Indonesian patchouli is the gold standard of perfumery. It offers a complex profile: earthy, camphoraceous, and dark, with a sweet, balsamic undertone that deepens with age. Primarily a base note, it provides exceptional longevity and structural depth. In the Gulf, it is cherished for its raw, opulent intensity, often layered with aged oud or Taif rose to create a sophisticated, lingering sillage that resonates with the region’s love for rich, grounding compositions.
