Patchouli & Bergamot

This soap is scented with the exeptional combination of Patchouli and Bergamot Essential Oils.

Patchouli is a very fragrant herb with soft oval leaves and square stems. It grows from 2 to 3 feet in height and provides an unusual odor that is nonetheless characteristic of patchouli when the leaves are rubbed.

Before it became popular in Europe, Indian shawls and Indian ink were identified by the unique patchouli odor.

Patchouli has a warm, earthy aroma with fresh fruit - like tones.

The Bergamot tree can grow up to four meters high, with star-shaped flowers, and smooth leaves, bearing citrus fruit resembling a cross between an orange and a grapefruit but in a pear-shape. The fruit ripens from green to yellow.

The name Bergamot is derived from the city Bergamo in Lombardy where the oil was first sold. This tree is native to South East Asia but was introduced to Europe, and particularly Italy, but is also found in the Ivory Coast, Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria.

The aroma is basically citrus, yet fruity and sweet with a warm spicy floral quality, and is reminiscent of Neroli and Lavender Oils.

The combination of these two oils in a soap makes for an exquisite scent that is hard to describe, but pleasing to the senses.
