In earlier times, fresh herbs and fresh flowers were used in Potpourri. While fresh herbs and flowers are still used, today’s potpourri is more of a mixture of pre-dried material and essential oils which provide a gentle scent in homes and offices.
Potpourri is put in special pots with perforated lids to perfume rooms. It can also be tied in small bags made from sheer fabric and hung throughout the house.
