About
A patchouli leaf hydrosol with characteristic earthy aroma. Gentle water-phase scent and conditioning ingredient; fragrance-allergy caveat.
Pogostemon Cablin Leaf Water is the hydrosol byproduct of patchouli essential oil production or direct aqueous extraction of patchouli leaves. Patchouli oil is a well-known perfumery material, and the water fraction retains enough aromatic character to function as a natural fragrance and soothing botanical in aqueous formulations. As a fragrance-adjacent ingredient it carries trace sesquiterpenes and alcohols; allergy risk exists for patchouli-sensitive individuals, though it is not on the EU 26 fragrance allergens list. Parent plant has long cosmetic and aromatic history. Typical use 1-20% in natural mists and toners.
