Scent & character
An earthy, woody material with balsamic and spicy aspects. The dark Indonesian oil cited here is not the same product as a patchouli fraction or an accord sold under a patchouli name.
STUDY PROMPT
Compare a small documented modification to a floral sketch. Write whether it changes the apparent dryness, depth or earthiness. Record the grade so the experiment can be repeated.
Materials to compare
Use these as starting points for separate blotter comparisons and small, documented studies. A pairing is a question to explore, not a finished formula.
Record the exact material
Record the exact supplier product, grade, batch, and stock strength. Materials with similar names can have different composition and performance. Read the supplier documentation for your actual material before handling or using it.
Note placement describes a useful study role, not a precise evaporation clock. Dilution, the surrounding formula, and your own perception affect what you notice.
