Patchouli is fast becoming one of my favorite scents and I really really love the scent of this one. I pared it with Vanilla Bean FO and Lavender Essential Oil in a batch of hot process soap and it smells wonderful. I love Lavender/Vanilla on its own but the Patchouli gives it an extra depth that is just lovely.
Wendy –
I am a natural perfumer and I have been around a lot of patchouli. Saffire Blue has THE best patchouli I have yet to encounter. Definitely a must buy!!!

Love this fragrance oil, combined beautifully with clary sage and creates a fresh, light almost masculine scent, my son described it as green tea.
Don & Tina –
This is my favorite aroma, and the price was better here than the competitor, so we will be back for this one.
Robin –
Patchouli is a scent that has to be fresh or it just comes off smelling like dirt. This is hands down the best I’ve ever tried. I use patchouli in 85% of my products so the essential oil HAS to be clean and fresh.
Good Job guys and thanks!
Mary –
The scent was nice and not too strong. Worked well in a coconut oil based deodorant.
Tina –
If producing an earthy and well received scented product, Saffire Blue’s Patchouli Essential Oil is it. It creates a warm and inviting cold processed soap with no loss of scent whatsoever. A great addition indeed.

Patchouli isn’t one of my favorite EO’s however I bought this to make a soap loaf for a custom order. It is a nice quality EO as all others I have ordered and I do think I will keep a few bars for myself to try!
