Susurabhi (सुसुरभि) refers to “well-perfumed”, and is mentioned in verse 2.31 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] fond of bathing, well-perfumed [viz., susurabhi], well-clad, (and) not extravagant (but) brilliant (in trinkets): one shall always wear jewels, effective charms, and sovereign remedies.”.

Note: Susurabhi (“well-perfumed”) has been translated by dri-źim bsgos (“fragrant with sweet scent, perfume”); bsgos, for which CD read bsgo, corresponds to Sanskrit āvāsita (I.3.32) or the like (cf. Lokesh Chandra, Dict, iii p. 586).
