Natural Patchouli Soap
It's good to be King! Patchouli is a bushy herb of the mint family, native to tropical regions of Asia. The scent of patchouli is heavy and strong, has been used for centuries in perfumes, and is often considered to be superior and luxurious in nature. The plant and oil have a number of claimed health benefits in herbal folk-lore, and its scent is used with the aim of inducing relaxation. During the 18th and 19th century, silk traders from China traveling to the Middle East packed their silk cloth with dried patchouli leaves to prevent moths from laying their eggs on the cloth. Many historians speculate that this association with opulent eastern goods is why patchouli was considered by Europeans of that era to be a luxurious scent. It is said that Patchouli was used in the linen chests of Queen Victoria in this way. Another must try!
