Every counterculture has taken advantage of patchouli in some way, as if ushering out the deep wisdom of the Earth through its earthy, sweet, and spicy notes. One of the only essences that gets better with age, we are reminded that when consciously tended to Nature always creates a more beautiful version of itself at each moment. Ushered forth during the first protests in England in the 1800’s against the industrial revolution, and most recently used in the hippy movement of the ’60’s, patchouli truly stands the ground of Mother Earth. Paired with vetiver and vanilla, the dry out is earthy yet sweet. And just as the sun releases essences of flowers, this blend liberates some precious florals from the caverns of the soil: champaka, orange blossom, rose and neroli all captivate the nose on first encounter, as if you were smelling a flower and being drawn into its roots simultaneously. 

Revolt. Let the revolution be for the awakening of the ever-beautification of the soil. Awaken the life breath of togetherness. Reside in the impermanent ephemeral aspects of floral consciousness, always enlivened, wafting, yet never graspable. Let this blend usher out the motive of change, a world that perpetuates the most magnificent beauty imaginable, attainable, yet ever morphing.
