The Patchouli plant is a small tropical shrub native to Asia, widely known for its use in producing patchouli oil. This herb is cultivated mainly for the oil extracted from its leaves, which are harvested multiple times a year. The oil features a distinctive woody and earthy aroma, commonly used in perfumes, incense, air fresheners, and as a bug repellent. While the leaves themselves are not fragrant when on the plant, they emit their noted fragrance upon fermentation. Patchouli’s flowers are naturally fragrant. Additionally, this plant is a tender perennial and can also be grown as a houseplant.
