    Community Answer
    If you slightly mild the Potpourri it will release a more intensive aroma because the aetheric oils will start to evaporate.
  • Question
    If the smell is too strong, how do I weaken it?
    Community Answer
    You can place it in some sort of diffuser, like a paper towel, cloth, or plastic wrap with holes in it.
  • Question
    How do I make the potpourri stronger? Do I add more essential oil drops, more fixative or more orris root?
    Community Answer
    Add more essential oils. The orris root makes it last longer but does not make it become stronger. The fixative is referring to the orris root.
  • Question
    Where can I buy orris root and essential oils?
    Community Answer
    You can buy orris root powder at the supermarket, craft store or health store. You can buy essential oils at a health store or fragrance shop.
