Patchouli has a woody and exotic scent. The fragrance develops as time progresses and calms the mind with the rich rose-like smell.
It was used by traders to repel insects when they exported high-priced fabric and shawls from India to Europe. This is what made it famous as the scent that reminds people of India.
