can anyone recommend a good patchouli fragrance oil that sticks in cold process?

I use essential oil. There is no comparison to the real thing. I use the dark, iron distilled, well aged Patchouli. Well aged has a honey and amber note that you won't find in fresh Patchouli.

Where do you get your EO from? It is so costly, I wondered if there was an FO that was close.

I've used BB's patchouli FO and it's a good blender. Their Smoky Patchouli FO is also pretty nice for blending.

I have always used BB's patchouli fo but read that they reformulated it with not so good reviews. I am a little reluctant to order now. I have tried smokey patchouli but not too much of a fan.

I'm not a patchouli fan at all! I got smoky patchouli from BB in a sample and my boyfriend and I couldn't stand it! I wish I knew of one that didn't smell so strong but I haven't found one

Patchouli is one of those fragrances that you either love or hate. I personally love patchouli but am not a fan of the smokey patchouli. I just ordered patchouli FO from WSP. I have never tried theirs but it got great reviews! Can't wait to try it in CP!

I have used Patchouli EO and it is by far the best but BB's Smoky Patchouli is nice. It is a blend and is less patchouli than I like. The Patchouli Dusk from BB smells more like true patchouli but you can tell it has other notes in it. I like it but I agree that Patchouli is one of those scents that you either love it or hate it. Never found anyone indifferent to it.

I LOVE BBs patchouli EO! I have 2 bottles, one that I'm letting age, and one that I got well aged from a friend, smells SO good when its been aged! Mmmm. I HATED patchouli before I smelled it aged (I blame Irena, she is an enabler!).
