ADDITIONAL INTERESTING RANTS & RAVES: Very strangely alluring this oil seems to tap into the animal instinct in all of us. I haven’t quite pinpointed what it is exactly but I find everytime I smell it I want to rub it all over my body like a leopard would roll in a potential mates fresh scent. Patchouli oil works as an “anchor” to other quicker evaporating oils like those of the citrus family. This is one of the natural methods of “fixing” your blends. The other option is a chemical fixative and we certainly wouldn’t want to do that now would we? NO! So, folks, if your brave enough give it a try and release your animal instinct. (Just be careful with who or what you release it on.) Results may vary.
