Patchouli
Patchouli is an aromatic bush from the Lamiaceae family which grows up to 60-90cm in height. It has a very penetrating odor and is often used in the perfume industry, especially for men’s products. Patchouli incense is used a lot in India and is especially associated with the worship of Krishna. It was also heavily used by the hippie movement of the 60’s and 70’s: it has such a strong smell that they used to hide the odor of marijuana. It has additional roles as a hair and dreadlock conditioner and aphrodisiac.
