Patchouli is an herb in the mint family. The oil from patchouli plants has a strong scent and is commonly used in soap and perfume.
Patchouli oil is made from the young leaves of the patchouli plant. To extract the oil, young leaves are fermented, then dried and steam-distilled.
Patchouli oil comes from plants that are particularly found in Asia. It is now cultivated in places in China and India as well as Malaysia for profit.
Patchouli is often used by neopagan witches to tap into the energies of the Earth element. As a symbol of the nurturing power of minerals, plants and trees, the strong scent of patchouli oil is thought to reinforce spells for healing, wealth, protection, fertility and sexuality. Some witches consider patchouli the most powerful of all essential oils for spellcraft.Because it is associated with the Earth and is thought to repel evil spirits and vengeful ghosts, patchouli powder is sometimes called "graveyard dirt". Both the dust and the essential oil come from the tropical patchouli plant, Pogostemon cablin.The plant is also used to make perfumes, but patchouli-based blends are often considered "cheap" because the intense forest-like smell of patchouli tends to overwhelm the scents of all other ingredients and ruin the perfume's complexity.

The Tagalog name for patchouli is "putchuli." It is often used in traditional medicine and aromatherapy in the Philippines.
I went to a local garden center and purchased an already started patchouli plant. I have it on my front porch in a planter and water it once every other day. The lady at the garden center told me it needed full sun but I have found it does better when it is in part sun/part shade area. Hope this helps!
