It is that. What'd you do, look it up on wikipedia? lol. I always thought of it as an indescribable scent, I almost prefer sandalwood but I like the way patchouli sounds too. It has been a little while since I caught the scent of patchouli and I think of it as flowery/earthy.
I think that if you know you always liked the way a certain thing smells, you can always recall that you like it, but you can not re-imagine the scent, of course. But when you finally smell it again, ah, the memories it evokes.
