About this material
Patchouli Heart SFE Indonesia
Patchouli Heart SFE CO2 extraction by Firmenich offers the beauty and strength of Patchouli notes, without sesquiterpenes parts.
It is suitable for use in both masculine and feminine fragrances at concentrations of up to 10%.
The SFE method ensures the preservation of all aromatic nuances and the authentic essence of the extract to ensure a highly pure product.
Utilising Supercritical CO2 Extraction technology, carbon dioxide is transformed into a supercritical fluid by exceeding its critical point (73 bars and 30°C), imparting unique properties to the extraction process.
The use of low temperatures during extraction helps maintain the genuine essence of the raw material. The source Material used for extraction being dried Patchouli Leaves.
Originating from the Philippines, Patchouli farming first emerged in Malaysia during the 19th century before expanding to the Indonesian archipelago in subsequent years.
In Indonesia, the cultivation of patchouli leaves is carried out by farmers across various islands, with a significant majority situated in Sulawesi, and the remaining portion distributed between Sumatra and Java.
The annual production of essential oil averages around 1400 to 1600 MT per year. Indonesia dominates global production, accounting for 95% and maintaining exceptional quality standards.
This material containing over 50% of the desired Patchoulol is an absolute must for any perfumer who is serious about their craft.

Creative ideas to explore
Creative directions, not tested formulas.Woods in daylight
With bergamot and a crisp citrus openingExplore a spare wood structure with citrus providing the opening contrast. Compare a brighter version with the wood reference and follow how the outline changes, keeping the later impression as important as the first moment.
A softer grain
With sandalwood and a musk directionSet the woody material beside a softer wood reference, then compare a restrained musk variation. Decide whether your concept needs creamy texture, dry definition or more space between its parts before expanding the accord.
Petals on timber
With rose and a clear floral accordTry a flower-and-wood study in which both subjects remain recognisable. Compare the floral reference with the woody variation through the evaluation, noting whether the wood forms a useful backdrop or becomes the centre of the idea.
