Patchouli Light (Burundi)

Base Note
CAS# 8014-09-3
Manufacturer: Robertet

Odor description: earthy, woody, patchouli, warm, straightforward

A nonstandard patchouli oil originating from Burundi, where cultivation of this raw material began in 2001 after 10,000 seedlings were brought from Indonesia. It is produced by a local manufacturer who supports Burundian farmers by providing plant stock and cultivation technology for this nontraditional crop.

The oil from this African region has a slightly different olfactory profile compared to Indonesian or Madagascan patchouli – simpler and more direct – making it an excellent choice for compositions that call for a clear patchouli note without excessive complexity. Its attractive price makes it ideal for projects requiring authentic patchouli in a more economical option.
