Rating: Excellent E.O. This is my second 100 ml bottle Used it in a C.P. soap. Blend very well with several E.O. I will try the light version. Thanks to NDA for the excellent service and very competitive price.

Rating: My absolute favourite! Perfect crunchy scent in my cp soaps.
Rating: Ahhh, patchouli! Love it or hate it, everyone who encounters it forges a relationship with it! It's heavy, earthy, musty green character & scent throw for days make it a fun & versatile oil to blend with! You can really play with pulling up it's chocolateyness too! On top of simply perfuming, it makes a nice addition to skin oils as well! Haven't tried the Light Patchouli yet, but it's on my list! :)

Rating: Har time to get anything from the dropper cap... I had to remove it and use a glass dropper instead. It is a strong & viscous one and has failed the paper test with a stain on it probably because its viscosity and dark color. I don,t think it is because it is bad. (paper test is used to test 100% pure oil, a single drop let down for 24h and it should completely evaporate without any stain)

Rating: A must have for so many different blends
By:Kalista, Edmonton, Alberta Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 29-Nov-2015
Rating: This complex and fresh scent from ND is the best scent on the market, trust me I've looked everywhere. The beautiful thing about patchouli is that it is a wonderful scent for both men and women. Very pleased with this purchase, the scent is strong and you can bet that even when used lightly in CP soap, it has a long staying power. It is absolutely wonderful.
By:Ilina, Pembroke, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 10-Jul-2017
Rating: When I first bought this and used it in a soap, the heady earthy tones were so very rich, they were overpowering . I found I was using way to much!!! THis is one of those oils where a little goes a long way. Now I blend it with other EO's or FO's and find that only even a small amount will come through in a blend. Great buy!
By:Beckie, Elmcreek, Manitoba Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 29-Dec-2013
Rating: Have never been a Patchouli fan, probably due to overuse. However with this oil the longer it sits the better it gets, and mixed with Ylang Ylang it's wonderful.

Rating: This is my 2nd 500mL bottle. I LOVE IT!! and use it in many many blends. I have made many soaps and lotions and have customers who also love it. Occassionally I just dab a bit from the lid directly on my neck and people stop me to ask what I am wearing...great oil to have on hand. No problems soaping with this oil either.
By:Robin, Grimsby, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 03-Feb-2015
Rating: I am a hardcore patchouli fan and this one does not disappoint. Truly satisfied but I have a feeling I will run out before it has time to mature (patchouli improves with age). Very few drops are needed in a diffuser to bring out its heavenly scent and as a base note fragrance , it carries other EOs very well.
By:Luc, Woodstock First Nation, New Brunswick
Date: Loyal Customer Since: 11-Feb-2017
Rating: If you're looking for a vintage smelling patchouli, with the camphourous notes tamed down, and the smoothness amped up, this is it. It smells so pleasantly complete and complex that it can be worn neat. Perfect for lovers of unadulterated, no nonsense patchouli.
By:Daniel, Vancouver, British Columbia

Rating: A beautiful rich scent that takes one instantly back to the 60's! I like to use it as a perfume . You can't beat the quality or the price. Thanks!
By:Susanne, Newmarket, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 15-Jul-2007
Rating: One of the few essential oils that get better with age!
By:S., Mississauga, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 25-Nov-2011
Rating: A lovely rich scent from the start; a beautiful patchouli that I prefer to the light.
After aging for a year it's become gentler (if that makes sense) and more heady while retaining its earthiness. I blend it with benzoin for a lingering soft perfume base. Love it.
By:Virginia, St. Walburg, Saskatchewan Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 26-Jan-2014
Rating: This is my most favorite oil! It's scent is absolutely amazing! The price point is the best around. I've tried both the light and dark but prefer the dark. The scent lasts and it goes a long way.
Rating: This has to be the perfect patchouli EO. I know it's pricey and you're tempted to be something second rate for less but, seriously, don't. This has body and character, a little really does go a loooooong way.
By:Jacqueline, Melancthon, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 14-Nov-2009
Rating: I still cannot believe how super affordable this oil is, because its quality is superb! The smell is deep and rich. A little goes a long looong way! And I swear by its ability to relieve itch!!

Rating: First time smelling patchouli and I love it haven't used it yet though
By:Danielle, Montreal, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 04-Jan-2013
Rating: This is THE BEST dark patchouli I've come across - and I am an avid patch lover, so I've tried lots of different brands from different companies. I use a drop or two in my hair too - and always get compliments about it. (Some people love patch, some hate it).
This dark one though - I find superior to the light, though I have purcahsed both and mixed them together for my own personal perfume.
Also... this kicks ____ on another Patchouli Dark that I bought from somewhere else - that ended up smelling like cedar chips... you know the ones you put in an animal pen? It's all I could smell... it's all hubby could smell.. So now I only use this Patchouli exclusively.
By:Ayla, Sherwood Park, Alberta Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 15-Aug-2013
Rating: Beautiful base note, two thumbs up for this. A little goes a long way too!
By:Stephanie, Coquitlam, British Columbia Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 13-Nov-2013
Rating: At first I didn't like this fragrance, but like most essential oils, it smells way better with age. Now its a staple in my products. I also realized that the scent changed after a couple hours when applied to skin. It got really musky and intoxicating. I couldn't stop sniffing my friend who was wearing it! He asked me to use it as his fragrance of choice in a body oil I made for his eczema .
By:Nasstassia, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 24-Feb-2014
Rating: a deep earthy scent, I mainly use it mixed with other eo's.
By:Dianne, Portage La Prairie, Manitoba Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 11-Nov-2013
Rating: An excellent quality, and amazing price. This patchouli is truly the nicest i have tried, beautiful, true patchouli scent, without that almost musty scent that some seem to have. ( i hadn't heard about using on cysts, but will definitely try)
Rating: Out of the bottle I thought this was really smoky and wasn't so impressed, but after using it in CP soaps, lotions and perfume oils I really appreciate and enjoy it. Bought a 500ml bottle and will be renewing it when I'm done.
By:Ancel, Cookstown, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 26-Dec-2013
Rating: I'm a long-time fan of patchouli, and this is one of my favourites ever. I prefer the dark patchouli to the light for its rich pungent aroma. It's spicy yet earthy and soft once it mellows into my nose, if that makes sense. In large amounts it would be overpowering, but used sparingly it really helped ground the scent of my latest body butter. Love it.
By:Virginia, Borden, Saskatchewan Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 26-Jan-2014
Rating: I bought this for making a diaper rash cream for my baby, not knowing what to expect i was floored when i smelled this, very strong and pungent out of the bottle, but when mixed into my cream the scent became subtle and pleasant, will be purchasing a larger bottle next time.
By:Janit, Souris, Manitoba Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 04-May-2013
Rating: I can't wait for this oil to age, after reading some of the comments here. It's far too strong out of the bottle for me. It's clearly a quality oil, very exotic and dark, but holy! Is it ever powerful stuff!
I keep strong oils double-bottled (the EO bottle inside a tightly sealed jar) because I can't have scents in my work space, and when I crack the lid of the jar to sniff, I find the scent inside is far more appreciable and beautiful than smelling directly from the EO bottle itself. Certain oils just PERMEATE whatever they are around, and I find double-bottling is an excellent counter to that, for those who, like me, must keep their space scent-free.
By:Julie, Alexandria, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 02-Dec-2013
Rating: Of the many patchouli oils I have tried, this is one of the best, if not *the* best patchouli I have ever used. Alone or mixed with other oils, it always satisfies.
By:Jesse, Toronto, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 03-Jun-2010
Rating: A good thick EO, beautiful base note that gives body to the mixtures. Purchased a larger bottle soon after I finished the 15ml bottle.
By:Pauline, Calgary, Alberta Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 25-Apr-2011
Rating: I always have wanted to LIKE Patchouli. I can now say I love it (this one, for sure). When I first bought this, I smelled it and thought it really needed to be a very small % because it was potent in a "dirty" kind of way. It is a fixative that is useful to prolong any blend. Fast forward one + year(s), the smell has aged beautifully and is not as "edgy" comparable to aging a fine wine....nice and smooth. Very versatile. I now use a lot more than a drop per blend! :)
By:Susan, Whitby, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 17-Feb-2010
Rating: Patchouli by any other name is still a great EO!! Not sure what I can add to all the many 5-star reviews it so richly deserves except a huge thanks to NDA for sourcing this oil and providing it at such an affordable price. Quality over the years is the same. It blends so well with pretty much any EO. It's a must-have and I feel it works for both men & women.
Since I wear it neat (mixed w/ a few drops of any other EO depending on my mood), I'm always stopped by people asking me where I got it because they can smell the lovely Patchouli!

By:Shirleen, Penetanguishene, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 24-Jul-2006
Rating: This aroma is really earthy in the most literal sense. Actually it reminds me of a fresh newspaper smell . I haven't really experimented much with it but I could see how it could be a foundation for other blends.
By:Vladimir, Toronto, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 29-Apr-2011
Rating: I love this patchouli! Such a deep, pleasantly strong smell. I use it in many, many, many homemade cosmetics. When I run out, I'm buying it again - definitely!
By:John, London, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 07-Aug-2012
Rating: A blend of Patchouli & Sweet Orange in CP Soap is my favourite. Seems to be a favourite for most of my repeat customers as well.
Rating: Works wonderful in cold processed soap! A truly beautiful scent!
By:Stephanie, Toronto, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 24-Aug-2010
Rating: Love it! I used to order my patchouli from a store in my area, I loved the smell but it was ridiculously expensive. New Directions Aromatics gave me the exact Patchouli that I needed, with a great price. So happy! Will buy more for sure!
By:Dina, Welland, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 10-Jan-2012
Rating: A bit of a cliche smell, but blended with other oils it can really bring things together. Deliciously earthy. I will always keep buying this one.
By:Basil, Woodbridge, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 15-Aug-2006
Rating: not at all what I expected from patchouli EO, but I like the bitter, slightly acrid earthiness of this one. I recently bought trial-sizes of several FO's and found every single one of them too sweet and cloying - I was worried I wouldn't use any of them. this will counteract the sweetness and make a great bottom anchor for a lot of spicy, earthy and green combinations - those FOs won't go to waste.
Rating: I love how this patchouli has aged.. Smells better now than when first purchased and has thickened a bit over time too. Patchouli, as with lavender are staples in my medicine cabinet.
By:Jesse, Toronto, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 03-Jun-2010
Rating: This definitely has an earthy smell!! I love it! In the middle of winter it reminds me of playing in the garden and the dirt. Mmmmm! Highly recommend if you want an earthy base.
By:Jeannette, Red Deer, Alberta Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 31-Oct-2011
Rating: Awesome product and you cant beat the price!
By:Phyllis, Halifax County, Nova Scotia Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 31-Jul-2011
Rating: This patchouli is amazing! I love its deep, earthy, spicy, piquant scent, and I simply can't get enough of it. It's great with lavender, and does wonders to offset the sweetness of more floral scents like ylang ylang. I look forward to seeing how the scent matures over time. It's definitely worth getting 100mL instead of 15mL--you'll find uses for it!
By:Marie, Calgary, Alberta Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 30-May-2011

By:Nathan, Brantford, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 08-Apr-2011
Rating: This Patchouli is so deep and rich....I've used other patchouli's that need time to age before they even smell like patchouli.This one will give my lotions, body butters and shampoos the earthiness right away and will deepen even further ... Absolutely Fabulous !!!

By:Christine, North Vancouver, British Columbia Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 03-Sep-2010
Rating: Deep and earthy. This is my first patchouli and I'm not sure if I'm a fan yet. I guess I'll have to play around with some blends!
By:Gwen, Burnaby, British Columbia Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 03-May-2010
Rating: I thought this dark patchouli would be thicker, but regardless, I love the smell and it's doing an amazing job of shrinking those mystery balls of I-don't-know-what They are like cysts, I suppose, that show up on the hands and wrists. Overnight one large and rather painful one showed up on the top of my hand, and it was BIG. I immediately started rubbing this lovely scented patchouli, neat on the area, and in less than 2 weeks, it has shrunk to half it's size and is no longer painful. I sometimes combine it with some lavender neat, as I understand that both can do something for these cyst-like creatures that appear on the hands and wrists. I wasn't sure it would work, but seeing is believing. I see there's an organic patchouli out now too. I must try that as well, as order another bottle of the dark, so I can let it age a little. But I'm still waiting on the South African lavender to reappear before I place another order.

Rating: At first when I smelled this it was not one of my favorites, but I have grown to love this scent, it has an exotic aroma to it ,
And I find it to blend well with other EO \'s such as Ylang Ylang, and especially Sweet Orange
By:Marilyn, Newmarket, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 11-Jan-2010
Rating: Wonderful, earthy scent. I don't normally like patchouli, but I'll be using this in soap and probably lotion as well. I'm always amazed at the quality and price from New Directions.
By:Jenn, Vancouver, British Columbia Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 15-Mar-2010
Rating: Since years, I never found a patchouli oil better than this one. I just receive my last order and I am not disappointed at all !Same high quality since years ! I use patchouli with lavender, vetiver and other of my blends.
Depuis plusieurs annnée, je commande mon huile essentielle de patchouli de New Directions. La qualité est toujours aussi bonne pour cette huile. Je l'utilise avec la lavande, le vétiver et les conifères (huiles essentielles).
By:Louise, Montreal, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 25-Feb-2006
Rating: High quality scent at a fantastic price. I am always amazed at how much you get and how little I pay.
By:Susanne, Newmarket, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 15-Jul-2007
Rating: I can still remember the very first time I ever smelled patchouli. I was smitten! It continues to be one of my very favourite scents and I have worn it for years. The New Directions Patchouli Dark is wonderful, deep and rich. Perfect strangers have come up to me and asked, "What are you wearing? I love it!"
I would highly recommend this product to anyone who loves that great Summer of Love scent!
By:Anne, Western Shore, Nova Scotia
Date: Loyal Customer Since: 02-Aug-2008
Rating: I love the scent on its own but the beauty of Patchouli comes from its ability to enhance so many other essential oils and make the perfect blends. I am a cold process soaper among other things and Patchouli lends its staying power to blends through that process. I have yet to have a customer with eczema whom did not respond to the powers of patchouli in various combinations in creams and balms. Of course the fact that it is the only oil that I know of that improves with age versus disipating makes it my first choice oil. New Directions does have the best prices for this high quality oil. If I could rate it excellent + I would.
By:Vanice, Cambridge, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 19-Dec-2006
Rating: This is the most wonderful smelling patchouli I've ever had the pleasure of smelling! Deep with woody tones, and when combined with rosewood lavender or ylang ylang... ah! definitely not a cheap hippie smell!

Rating: I just tried this for the first time in my conditioner along with Frankincense, Rosewood, Cedarwood and Cardomom. What a gorgeous scent! Now I can see why people rave about Patchouli!
I absolutely love it and I'm glad I bought the larger bottle!
Rating: Wonderfully and addictively earthy. I love it!
My husband, however, finds it overwhealming when used in a diffuser. Great in lotions, though!
By:Cathryn, Orleans, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 28-Jul-2008
Rating: Absolutely love it ;) use in lotions, shower gel and on a piece of leather for a car freshner. Had a lady ask what I was wearing and if she could take me home she loved it! Also takes me back to the 60's when it was so popular with the Hippies...ahh to be young again.

By:Stephanie, Cochrane, Alberta Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Apr-2007
Rating: Patchouli can successully be mixed with other essential oils (orange, cinnamon etc) and its earthy smell is hot and comforting. A good patchouli soap is addictive. This oil is very good.

By:Kat, Tottenham, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 24-Apr-2006
Rating: I've used patchouli oils from other sources, and none of them compare to this one. It doesn't smell as nice straight out from the bottle as it does diluted in a mixture or in the bath. I put one drop in a 10ml roll-on bottle of (3% diluted in jojoba) neroli oil, and presto! Absolutely gorgeous personal perfume!
By:Karen, Nepean, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 26-May-2006
Rating: Any patchouli fan will want this! However, the scent is so rich that it could resemble tobaco if used excessively. Used sparingly, it produces excellent effect. Great for lip chap!
