The patchouli plant, or Pogostemon cablin, is an upright, bushy, evergreen perennial herb with lightly fragrant leaves, and white, violet-marked flowers. Native to tropical Asian countries, patchouli is widely cultivated all over the tropics and subtropics. The sweet, musky aroma of patchouli is quite unmistakable and is often used as a fixative in oriental perfumes.
