Dark patchouli is known for its deep, rich, and earthy aroma, often described as musky and woody, with a hint of smokiness. Light patchouli, on the other hand, has a clearer, lighter, and more free-spirited scent. The difference in color and scent is primarily due to the type of distillation equipment used: dark patchouli is often distilled in iron vats, while light patchouli is distilled in stainless steel.
