Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Dhūpitāmbara (धूपिताम्बर) refers to “fumigated garments”, mentioned in verse 3.47-48 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] Not going on foot, smelling sweetly, (and) wearing constantly fumigated garments [viz., dhūpitāmbara]: one shall stay on a (sheltered) palace-roof garden free from vapour, cold, and drizzle”.
Note: Dhūpitāmbara, lit. “whose garments are fumigated”, has been resolved into gas ni spos-kyis bdugs (“fumigated with incense as to one’s garments”). While sos (for spos) in XP is undoubtedly corrupt, bdug (for bdugs) in CD looks at least suspicious; cf. v. 15.
