Patchouli is a small, perennial shrub with woody or semi-woody stems that grows up to one meter tall and is native to Malaysia and India. The leaves are dark green, glossy, oval, opposite, toothed at the edges, slightly waxy, sometimes three-lobed and exude an intense spicy fragrance when rubbed. The flowers are white with a red tinge and have a strong fragrance.
The composition, which is also enriched with castor oil, allows it to absorb any kind of bad odor.
