“Peace & Love” not only rebellion and lightheartedness, travel and rock music;
among the hippies also a perfume was the protagonist: Patchouli.
Earthy, intense, woody, at times dry or flowery – considered aphrodisiac because
it awakens energy (including sexual energy) – its scent has infected an entire
generation, becoming the symbol of an independent lifestyle.
Alongside and together the scent of Patchouli and the aroma of Hemp Sativa
(the “useful hemp”), make you free and happy from the 70s to today. The
mistreated Hemp with its fresh and sweet herbaceous smell, which gives
confidence, calms the spirit, relaxes and balances.
Be it history or legend, one thing is certain, Patchouli comes from the East and
derives from the ancient word patchai ellai, “green leaf”, and the hippies used it
in its pure state because it recalled the scent of India. It spread to Europe with
the arrival of fabrics and clothing produced in India, because it was used to
perfume and protect fabrics from moths.
Hemp (cannabis) also with Indian origins, whose use dates back to prehistoric
times as a medicinal herb, is also used in the food, cosmetic and textile fields.
Equipped with great therapeutic properties, with its sunny aroma it is a vibrant
song of happiness and trust.
