Transported cup at Holi for aromatic oil (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

patchouli

'aromatic oil' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'transported cup at holi' is the wordplay.
'transported' indicates anagramming the letters.
'cup'+'at'+'holi'='cupatholi'
'cupatholi' anagrammed gives 'PATCHOULI'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for patchouli that I've seen before include "essential oil" , "Perfume from the oil of an East Asian shrub - a lit pouch (anag)" , "scented oil" , "County (abbrev.); weapons" , "scented shrub" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
