Morning Star Incense: Patchouli
I det 18. århundre ble patchouli anvendt i forbindelse med silketransporten fra Kina til Mellom Østen og Europa. De kinesiske kjøpmennene anvendte tørkede patchouli-blader imellom de kostbare klærne for å forhindre møll i å angripe og ødelegge silken. Det er kanskje grunnen til at duften av patchouli i Europa ble betraktet som en spesiell luksuriøs duft. Således fortelles det, at Dronning Victoria lot patchouli-blader inngå som dufttilsetning i sine linnedkister.
Patchoili-røkelse var også meget populær i 1960'ernes hippiekultur. Musikeren Al Stewart omtaler duften i sin sang 'Year of the Cat' fra 1976 med setningen: 'She comes in incense and patchouli'. Sangen handler nettopp om en turist, som møter en hippiekvinne på et marked i Marokko: 'On a morning from a Bogart movie, in a country where they turned back time...'

Morning Star Incense: Patchouli
In the 18th century, patchouli was used in connection with the transport of silk from China to the Middle East and Europe. The Chinese merchants used dried patchouli leaves between the expensive clothes to prevent moths from attacking and destroying the silk. This may be why the scent of patchouli in Europe was considered a special luxurious fragrance. Thus it is said that Queen Victoria included patchouli leaves as a fragrance additive in her linen chests.
Patchoili incense was also very popular in 1960s hippie culture. Musician Al Stewart mentions the scent in his 1976 song 'Year of the Cat' with the phrase: 'She comes in incense and patchouli'. The song is about a tourist, who meets a hippie woman at a market in Morocco: 'On a morning from a Bogart movie, in a country where they turned back time ...'
