Patchouli Oil Supplier is a technical, GC-MS/COA-transparent sourcing desk for bulk Indonesian patchouli oil (nilam, Pogostemon cablin) serving fine-fragrance and cosmetics buyers in the EU, US and Gulf. Indonesia supplies roughly 65-80% of the world's patchouli oil, chiefly from Aceh, North Sumatra and Sulawesi. Coverage spans PA (patchouli alcohol) grading, Dark/Light/iron-free/molecularly-distilled families, origin differences, and export documentation. Prices are indicative FOB bands as of 2026 that move with harvest and PA content; the final quote confirms grade, PA%, documents and MOQ. It is an independent sourcing desk, not a distiller of record, and makes no customs or quality guarantee.

Common questions
How much does bulk Indonesian patchouli oil cost per kg in 2026?
It depends on PA (patchouli alcohol) content and grade. Indicative FOB bands as of 2026: PA under 30% about USD 35-55/kg; commercial PA 30-35% about USD 45-90/kg; premium PA above 35%, iron-free, molecularly distilled or organic-certified about USD 100-200/kg. In poor-harvest seasons, 30-32% PA oil can spike toward USD 100-130/kg. These are indicative ranges that move with harvest and PA content; the final quote confirms grade, PA%, documents and MOQ.
Why is Indonesia the main source of patchouli oil?
Indonesia supplies roughly 65-80% of the world's patchouli oil, concentrated in Aceh, North Sumatra and Sulawesi, thanks to suitable climate, established smallholder cultivation and distillation capacity. India and China supply most of the remainder.
What is PA (patchouli alcohol) and why does it matter?
Patchouli alcohol is the primary constituent that drives patchouli oil's quality, fixative strength and price. Commercial export oil is typically quoted at PA 30% and up; higher PA, iron-free and molecularly-distilled grades command premiums. PA should always be confirmed on the batch COA/GC-MS rather than assumed from origin.
What is the minimum order and what documents come with it?
Typical bulk MOQ is 100-1000 kg, often shipped in ~180-200 kg drums. Standard documents on request include a Certificate of Analysis stating PA%, a GC-MS profile, specific gravity, refractive index and optical rotation, plus SDS/TDS; organic, IFRA or allergen documentation is available for premium grades that carry it.
Do you guarantee customs clearance or a fixed price?
No. Published figures are indicative, not a contract, and we make no customs or quality guarantee. We are an independent sourcing desk; the written quote confirms grade, PA%, documents and MOQ for your specific shipment, and buyers should confirm import requirements with their own broker and destination authority.
Methodology & data sourcing
Price bands are indicative FOB market ranges, date-stamped 'as of 2026', PA/grade-dependent, and move with harvest; the final quote confirms grade, PA%, documents and MOQ. Specifications (PA%, specific gravity, refractive index, optical rotation) are claimed only from an actual batch COA/GC-MS, never assumed from origin. Supply-share figures summarise trade estimates for Indonesia (Aceh/North Sumatra/Sulawesi). This is an independent sourcing desk, not a distiller of record, and offers no customs or quality guarantee.
