Patchouli is an earthy fragrance that is derived from the Patchouli herb most commonly made into incense or oil.
Pros:
-it smells absolutely wonderful
-because of its wood-like scent, it is known to be very relaxing
-i've read that it can be used as an anti-depressant because of it's calming aroma.
-it has a very pungent smell that lingers for days
-it has the ability to cover up any other undesired odor
-it is usually very cheap to buy
-it's very "hippie"-ish
Cons:
there are no real dangers from using patchouli oil
although...
-it can sometimes be too strong if you don't apply it properly
-it is sometimes labeled a sedative, but that is not necessarily a bad thing.
The pros is it smells wonderful...
I have found that there is a lot of moisture left afterwords,, that may damage items.
