Extracted from \u003cem\u003ePogostemon cablin\u003c\/em\u003e leaves, it captures the plant's full lipid and aromatic complexity in concentrated wax form, yielding a darker, earthier, and more resinous character than the conventional oil ever achieves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs the pure wax is solid at room temperature, we supply it at 50% in benzyl benzoate — a heavier, more aromatic solvent particularly well suited to dissolving thick, dark, earthy materials of this kind, giving a genuinely workable pourable liquid without losing the material's dense character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eScent Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDeep, dark, and unmistakably patchouli from the opening — earthy, woody, and slightly camphoraceous, with a rich resinous depth that sets it apart from the brighter, more familiar essential oil. A genuine mustiness and soil-like complexity underlies the character, developing into a warm, ambery drydown of considerable tenacity. This is patchouli at its most primal and grounded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfumery Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn excellent, genuinely distinctive base note for oriental, chypre, and dark woody compositions where a deeper, more resinous patchouli character is wanted than the standard essential oil provides.
