[honor435]

wow, my first time making this eo, wow does it stink, people are asking for it, dont know why! i put a little on a guaze in a baggie and hid it in xray dept, at my work,(she loves pach.) she found it!
I did hp, 1 oz for 2 lb batch, added some liquid brown lines, we'll see.

Ugh. It's great, but only in smaaaaaaaaaaall doses IMO.

I love Patch! The older the better.

thats not too much is it? the eo was from wsp. I have some "old" patchouli, saving that for "whatever'!

1 oz. for a 2 lb. batch sounds perfect.

Perfect would be a titch of Lavender mixed in.

my all time fav - I really don't know how I swing in so many directions with what I like and what makes me ill - Patch Lav or Lav with 25% patch and 25% Sandalwood - I call in Heavenly Lavender... AHHHHH!

Patch I have found variesd significantly from supplier to supplier as well - can STINK or be heaven

Not a fan of straight Patch either. I made incense for my fiance with it and he adores it! Makes me GAG! lol
I might have to try mixing it with some lavendar or something else. I think it would be nice with something fruity?

oh my gosh, my soaping cottage stinks SO bad from the pach, gotta put it somewhere, like the garage! oops honey is ahunter, he wouldnt like that.

Pachouli is one of those scents that grow on you... at first I didn't like it, but it kinda lingers in your thoughts (to me) and I would keep going back and smelling it. Now I enjoy it straight in my bath at night or mixed with other scents for perfume. The patchouli I got from BB is pretty much an exact match for the EO I use from Nature's Gift for smaller applications. Haven't soaped with it yet but I hope it will smell as good when I do

I like patchouli too.
Lemongrass is another that has the ability to stink out an entire room.

And true 20 year old Patch smells amazing. No dirt smell or dirty socks; it's acquired a heady sweetness that's just awesome! So go put your Patch away for a while and come back to it later.

Big-time patchouli lover here. A good blend is patch, lavender and sweet orange 5x - lovely!

I hated patchouli until I got some that was aged and smelled unbelievably good--velvety, chocolatey, deep, sensuous.

what a difference from that pungent dirt smell it can have!
