Patchouli Essential Oil is one of my personal favorite ingredients. While I adore the woody, earthy aroma of Patchouli at full strength, most people prefer Patchouli when it is blended with other aromatic oils and extracts. Citrus and Patchouli form a very popular combination. Topping that blend with Lavender, Cypress, or Pine, creates a vibrant, bold, and energizing combination that appeals to men and women alike. Patchouli can also be used to create a more mellow, grounded aroma. Try combining Patchouli with Vanilla or Sandalwood to create a rich, sophisticated aroma.
You may want to use Organic Patchouli Essential Oil to create your own unique Patchouli based Essential Oil Blend. Experiment by adding each oil to the mixture drop by drop, allowing plenty of time in between stages for oils to fully blend.

Hi. I love Patchouli and I made a blend for my brother with Vanilla and Sandalwood like you suggested above and he (and I) loved it. I put it in jojoba and he used it instead of a cologne. It smelled heavenly!
