The Versatility of Woody Potpourri
With many uses around the house, woody potpourri can be spicy, warm or masculine. Cinnamon and Cedar are two popular woody potpourri ingredients and have different uses and scents, both perfect for your home.
Cedar in the Home
Cedar is often used in the bedroom as it doubles as a clothes moth deterrent. This can be a prevalent issue in modern homes. It carries quite a masculine scent, which can be enhanced with cedarwood fragrance oil. At Daisyshop, we offer fragranced cedar roses as a potpourri ingredient for a pretty mix as well as being functional on their own. For moth deterrence, you could add lavender essential oil or cedar fragrance oil, or try our scented lavender and cedar roses bag. Placed in enclosed spaces such as drawers or cupboards to deter moths or use decoratively around the house.
Cinnamon Potpourri
In home fragrance, cinnamon is great for kitchens due to its warm and spicy scent. It also gives a beautifully cosy feel over the winter months. Our handmade cinnamon potpourri uses a great variety of ingredients that come in different shapes and sizes, in autumnal and woody colours, making it great for home décor. Items you might find in the mix are cinnamon sticks, cedar roses, pine cones, alder cones, brunch balls, casurina pods, cotton pods, bellani slice, helichrysum flowers. The cinnamon aroma is enhanced by a few drops of cinnamon fragrance oil.
