They are saying that potpourri would be to an herb lover what cooking would be to the gourmet. Potpourri is easy to create and the scent lasts a long time. The aroma of your own personal potpourri creation will trigger memories for a lifetime.
Potpourri is really a way to capture the essence of the plants and produce it inside. Potpourri is usually a blend of flowers, herbs, and spices that appeal to the attention as well as the nose. The mixture may be used in sachets or put into beautiful container jars.
There's a vast difference in the quality of potpourri created using essential oils verses those using synthetic perfumes. Many commercially made potpourri items have an aroma that's noticeably artificial. Another advantage of creating your own is the ability to control the effectiveness of the scent.
Making your personal potpourri is very easy. Once you get the hang of it, you will be making some as gifts for friends and family alike. It is a great hobby and inventive outlet. You might even decide to turn it into a business and sell your creations in the local flea market on the weekends.
