Candybee Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I remember someone mentioning a place to get the best patchouli but don't remember where or who posted it. Need some advice on a really good patchouli, preferably dark patchouli. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenniferM Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 A great supplier of essential oils is lgbotanicals.com. Not the cheapest but everything I have purchased is swoon-worthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenderSF Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 This is the post that came to mind. Is this the one you're thinking of? I recently ordered from Community and now I'm kicking myself for not trying the patchouli. 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 The last Dark Indonesian co-op buy (a long while ago) was liberty naturals. It has aged very well. these days I use The Perfumery. The perfumery also has a decent patchouli for soap. It is less costly, and seems to perform ok in soap. all will benefit from a nice long aging I find. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I've found same with Patch I've purchased some I wasn't crazy about and a year later loved. It's prob the only EO that I have from 6 years ago that just keeps getting better. I do keep mine in a fridge and never much bottle air space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marleigha Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) @Candybee I can’t confirm this 100%, but I heard Lonestar has one of the best patchouli fragrance oils. I was told it smells the closest to the EO of any patch FO anywhere. And not crazy priced! Oh and also Fillmore…. Anyways, HTP!

I haven't tried Lonestar but I have used Fillmore's Patchouli FO and stopped looking because it was the best patch FO I found and the truest to the EO. Right now thou I am looking for the EO of dark patchouli and not a FO. The darker the better. I have a regular patchouli EO that I order in a lb at a time so it can darken over time. Patch just gets better with age. But am hoping to find a true 'dark' patchouli EO and was hoping someone here might know where to find. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I just tested some melts made with it. I love it! But then again, it was my first Patch sample so I have nothing to compare it to... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah Kat used to say all the time how the Patch from LS smells almost exactly to the EO. @LilFirecrackerYes a few of my friends are really picky with their patchouli FO and they rave of the Patchouli from Fillmore and Lonestar. What else have you loved from LS? 😇 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilFirecracker Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 @MarleighaWell I'm just now building my stock so I don't have many from there now. Still in testing phase. So far my keepers are Cotton Blossom, Clean Cotton, Cranberry Chutney (potent!), And Plumeria I've put into wax but haven't yet melted Nag Champa, Firewood (this one comes down to personal preference), and Black Raspberry Vanilla. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marleigha Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) @LilFirecracker I have around 40 or so FO’s from them. All have been either good or great except maybe 1-2. I do have a few favs that seem to throw great in my wax. This isn’t all, but here are at least 10… Pumpkin Seeds & Oud Drunken Pumpkin Fall Festival French Market Inner Peace (SUPER STRONG) Leather (very accurate & strong) also makes a great mixer Vanilla Cotton Creme Brulee Verbena Bamboo Dickens Christmas (outstanding) HTH!

LilFirecracker Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 @MarleighaI wanted to love Blueberry Cobbler so badly, it smelled so good at first. But the blueberry burned off too fast and was left with an artificial type funk in the air. ☹️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marleigha Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) @LilFirecracker I’m honestly not a big blueberry fan myself. I do have several BB FO’s including the BB Cobbler from LS but just don’t pour them much. Out of the few BB FO’s I have I think I like Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream from JS & Blueberry Muffins from BC. HTH!
