Instead of Patchouli, get some plants from which the resin results in the incense: Plumaria. Have three plants, and as they bloom for months, you could have year-round scent.

I love the scent of this plant. Details:

You know how much I love you, right? But patchouli?? Just thinking about that smell makes me gag. I love the idea of what it does for you though. I use Hawaiian Tropic lip balm for the same reason. MammaLoves's last blog post..The Lesser of Two Evils

In herbal medicine it’s used externally for the treatment of eczema, acne and varicose veins. It’s frequently used in chinese herbal remedies.
Patchouli in aromatherapy is beneficial for depression and anxiety and is considered a “grounding” influence on the wearer. That’s why it works for you in times of stress! I keep a vial of the essential oil in my klatch of oils although I don’t practice aromatherapy as much as I used to.
I sometimes wear a perfume from Hove ( in da quarter) called “Kiss in the Dark” that has essence of Patchouli and sandalwood (my fave)…you should try it.
This was a fun and interesting post, Nola.

Hey Patchouli Pal! Good for you! (God help us if we’re ever in the same place at the same time…well, we’ll likely have it all to ourselves..).

It’s spring in our corner of the world now and Saturday’s farmer’s market was heady with the scent. Yay Spring! Yay Patchouli!

(n.b. A year or so ago I got a nice patchouli blend at the Body Shop which doesn’t seem to make as many people gag).

I am not a fan at all of Patchouli, it gives me an awful headache. So I would have been one of the ones avoiding you. I love though how certain scents will help recall the memories of a different time.

It is amazing what we associate with smells. Red licorice with my pre-teen years. Curve and Clean and Clear with my teen years. Leather and baby oil with my college years (I'm not discussing this one). And, Desitin with, well, now. LaskiGal's last blog post..American Idol Review: The Top 7

What a lovely post. Scents also have a powerful effect on me and spark memories more readily than anything else.
I’ve never smelled Patchouli before. Now I’ll have to look for it.
So glad you found your way through with what works for you
