Yes, patchouli has a long history as a fragrance oil (very nearly every hippie of the sixties wore it, some still do). It is an ingredient in a large number of commercial fragrances (mostly for men), is used in aromatherapy and magic as well.

If the scent is too strong (and some folk find it so) you can dilute it with any good carrying oil. Do be advised, pure patchouli oil will stain clothing so be carefull how and where you apply it.
