Patchouli and the Kashmir Shawl

Kashmiri shawls were packed with dried patchouli leaves to repel moths. The leaves infused the shawls with their scent. The name patchouli comes from a Tamil phrase meaning green leaf.

Citrus Reaches the West

Sour oranges, limes and pomelos reached the West through Muslim traders in the 10th century AD. Sweet oranges reached Europe in the 15th century. Mandarins arrived in the Mediterranean in the early 19th century.

Using and Storing Your Oil

Add a few drops of this Medicine Buddha fragrance oil to your own base. A clove sandalwood scent adds a spicy, woody base. An orange patchouli scent suits autumn blends. Browse more scents in the Fragrance Oils collection or the full Museumize fragrance collection. Keep the cap tight and store the bottle upright, away from heat and direct sun.

Citrus and patchouli seem an odd pair, yet both carry long histories. A warm earthy citrus scent suits a quiet shelf. Many pair a clove sandalwood scent with dried peel. An orange patchouli scent feels rich and rounded.
