What should you check before use?

Before first use, it's always worth reading the manufacturer's recommendations on the label. Check whether the product is intended for a diffuser, burner, or other aromatic use. Also pay attention to warnings regarding skin and eye contact, and storage. When it comes to essential oils, the most important thing is to use them as directed by the manufacturer, not to make assumptions based on the name alone.

Do not use the oil orally unless the label clearly indicates this. Do not apply it directly to the skin unless the manufacturer explicitly allows it. Store the product tightly closed, in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of children.

How does this oil compare to others?

When comparing patchouli with other oils, pay attention primarily to the character of the aroma. Patchouli usually has a deeper and stronger scent than citrus varieties, and at the same time more assertive than light floral compositions.
