Not entirely sure about this one. Perhaps it’s just my bottle, but I can’t help but be reminded by bathroom cleaner – the industrial-type stuff at that. Definitely need a subtle touch, and probably mix with something else.

• patchouli and orange – the orange definitely helps!
• patchouli and jasmine – quite sweet, quite nice

• “a rich, velvety, musky aroma that develops spicy, earthy and sweet tones with time”
• great for fighting depression and anxiety
• “helps break down cellulite, while stimulating the regeneration of skin cells, speeding up healing and preventing ugly scars forming when wounds heal”
• “has a grounding and balancing effect on the emotions and banishes lethargy, while sharpening the wits, fighting depression and anxiety” (www.essentialoils.co.za)
• can be applied neat with a cotton bud on insect bites
• blends particularly well with bergamot, clary sage, geranium, lavender and myrrh; jasmine
• for dry skin, try patchouli, cedarwood and camomile
• to improve the complexion, try patchouli, frankincense and sandalwood
