Potpourri will naturally lose its scent over time. Try this:

1) Use about 5 drops of oil for a hand full of Potpourri. Using an eye-dropper RESERVED ONLY FOR USE WITH SCENTING OILS is the best way to distribute the oil. If you don’t have a dropper, pour a little oil into the cap of its bottle and gently shake the oil onto the potpourri.

2) If you keep your potpourri in a bowl or a basket, and you don’t mind that some oil may get on the vessel itself, keep it in that container to refresh it. Otherwise, place your potpourri in a roomy plastic bag.

3) Sprinkle or evenly drop the desired amount of oil onto the potpourri and toss it with your hands. Pretend you’re tossing a salad with your hands. Very gently moisten every flower and herb as you disperse the oil. WASH YOUR HANDS WELL AFTER EACH USE. You may wish to use rubber gloves when using the oils, since some of our oils are spicy and may irritate sensitive skin.

4) If you’re leaving the potpourri open in a ceramic bowl or basket, you can replace the blend back into its container right away. If you use the potpourri in a cloth bag or sachet or in a light-colored basket, wait a couple of days to return it to the sachet, since the oils may discolor or stain the fabric.
