Frequently Asked Questions:

 

How long will by scented potpourri last? The fragrance oil I use on my potpourri is
very concentrated. It is the highest grade sold on the market.  Under normal conditions my potpourri should smell for approximately 4 months.

My potpourri doesn’t smell anymore. Now what? Don’t throw your potpourri away; refresh it.  Place your unscented potpourri in a sealed plastic bag and add a couple drops of refresher oil.  Keep it sealed for about a week and reuse.

Can I change the scent of my potpourri? Yes! Once your potpourri’s fragrance has completely disappeared, place the potpourri in a sealed plastic bag and add a couple drops of any scent of refresher oil. Keep sealed for about a week and reuse.  Don’t be afraid to mix oils to create your own custom scent.

Can I use these oils with my Reed Diffusers?  No. Oils used with Reed Diffusers have a special base ingredient that helps the oils wick up the reeds.

What other ways can I use my refresher oils?  Dab oil onto air conditioning and heating filters. ~Soak a cotton ball and put inside a vacuum bag. ~Use with lamp rings. ~Use to rescent candle wax used in warmers or crocks. ~Use with a tea light or electric potpourri oil warmer. ~Drop into a pot of simmering water on the stove.

How do I know if I can use a dried botanical in a simmering pot? Test it.  If it floats and holds its shape while the water is simmering, then yes. Also test the color; some botanical colors will run when they get wet and will change the color of your simmering water. However that’s not always a bad thing!

How many drops of oil should I use?   Use just a few drops. A little goes a long way.

*Never simmer pure fragrance oil. Always dilute with plenty of water.*

***Do not let potpourri or botanicals with oils come in contact with furniture, clothing or upholstery.  Keep out of the reach of children. Potpourri, botanicals and oils should never be used as a food source. Never leave a heated pot unattended.  Pots used with scented oils should not be used for cooking.
