The name is usually traced back to Tamil, meaning roughly “green leaf” – yet what the dried leaves of \u003cem\u003ePogostemon cablin\u003c\/em\u003e release is anything but green: damp forest floor, a cool vaulted cellar, the inside of a cedar chest, a breath of bitter cocoa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis oil has been \u003cstrong\u003epost-treated\u003c\/strong\u003e after distillation (in the sense of ISO 9235). The heavy, smoky-musty fractions that dark crude oils from simple stills carry are reduced; what remains is a pale yellow, free-flowing material with a clean wood-and-earth core. It doses precisely, dissolves clearly in ethanol and fits into modern compositions without darkening them – the full patchouli, minus the dust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Evolves on the Blotter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe first minutes.\u003c\/strong\u003e A brief herbal, camphoraceous opening with a cool, almost minty shimmer, and the earth immediately beneath.
