Essential oil

Patchouli CO₂ Extract

Deep and rounded, without the burnt edge. Distillation can introduce a tarry, over-cooked note to patchouli. Supercritical CO₂ does not, which is why the extract reads cleaner and fuller as a base note. Increasingly specified in premium personal care as well as fine fragrance.
