A distinct terroir
Grown on Burundi's central plateaus, under the shade of banana trees, which gives our patchouli its special character.
Rugofarm Patchouli
Patchouli Clair
from Burundi
Deep, earthy, and well-rounded, one of the most sought-after notes in fragrance, grown beneath the shade of banana trees.
I.The Oil
Prized for its depth, earthy, and well-rounded character
Our patchouli oil is valued for qualities that come from a tightly controlled, single-origin supply chain rather than an open commodity market.
True to its name, Patchouli Clair keeps its light, clear amber tone — while aging naturally develops the smooth, earthy depth prized in perfumery. A classic base note and natural fixative, it lends warmth, longevity, and structure to a wide range of compositions.
