When we describe a winning sports team or even a particularly delicious recipe, we often say that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. This is also true in the fragrance world, where potpourri reigns supreme. The smell of potpourri could be compared to the taste of a fine wine – the more time you spend getting to know it, the more distinct aromatic notes you begin to perceive.
After cracking open some aromatic potpourri, your senses will be overwhelmed with a unique fragrance – that of the whole. But given time, you’ll likely pick up a number of separate aromas that weren’t detectable at first sniff. These fruit and floral extracts make their presence felt over a period of days, and they come together in such a way that everyone in the household will enjoy the olfactory atmosphere.
