Patchouli light Essential Oil Pure

Patchouli light Essential Oil Pure

• Aroma: airy woody-amber, soft earthy sweetness, less musty/leathery than regular patchouli; great as a base/fixative without dominating.

  
  
• Appearance: pale yellow, mobile liquid (lighter than standard patchouli)
• Solubility: oil/ethanol-soluble, not water-soluble
• Relative density (20 °C): ~0.95–0.98
• Refractive index (20 °C): ~1.50–1.51
• Flash point: typically ≥100 °C (non-phototoxic)
• Storage: cool, well-sealed, away from light; oxidised oil can smell harsher

Applications

Fine fragrance

• EDP/Parfum (ethanol): 0.2–6% of the fragrance concentrate.
  Adds tenacity, warmth, and diffusion without the heavy “hippie” vibe.

• Excellent in amber, gourmand, chypre, woody, and floral styles.

Personal care (skin-safe, leave-on/rinse-off)

• Leave-on (lotions, body oils, balms): 0.05–0.5%

• Rinse-off (shower gel, shampoo, soap): 0.2–1.0%

• Bar soap/syndet: 0.3–1.5% (good scent retention; lighter colour helps with pale bars)

Home fragrance (non–skin contact)

• Candles/wax melts: 5–9% of wax (often blended for lift).

• Reed diffusers (e.g., Augeo base): 10–20% EO.

• Room sprays: 0.2–1% with a solubiliser.

Why choose “Light” vs. regular patchouli?

• Cleaner profile for modern formulas (less musty/dirty).

• Lower colour/less staining in pale lotions/soaps.

• Easier to dose in delicate florals and citrus without overwhelming.

Blending tips

• For a plush amber: Patchouli Light + vanilla/benzoin + sandalwood.

• For elegant florals: Patchouli Light + rose/peony/orris.

• For fresh woods: Patchouli Light + cedar + grapefruit/bergamot.

• To extend citrus: add Ambroxan/Iso E Super with a trace of Patchouli Light.
