Used throughout the 60's and 70's not just as an excuse not to bathe, as some people claim, but to cover the scent of Smoke, Drink and Drugs on clothing.

"Shit dude you smell like weed!"

"I'll get the patchouli oil"

"There goes another Trustafarian Granola. That patchouli scent almost ALWAYS precedes pretentious hygienic procrastination and self-righteous drivel !"

Patchouli

The pungent oil of the Asian plant pogostemon cablin. The first time you smell it you ask,"what's that!?" The second time you smell it you ask, "why hasn't that been banned?"

I'd rather she wore chipotle than patchouli.

Patchouli

Patchouli is a foul smelling stench with strong overtones of mold and mildew. It has become popular with young, and sometimes successful, bohemian types. They often wear it to mask their success and to feel more grounded, as they smoke their American spirits and drink PBR. These days there's nothing cooler than smelling like you live in your parents moldy basement.

Why does it smell like a moldy dead guy in here?

Oh, that's just Nikky, she's wearing patchouli again.
