Scent Longevity Tip
To extend the life and strength of your sachets, use a natural fixative and refresh periodically. Adding orris root powder helps bind and slowly release aroma, allowing the scent to last significantly longer.
- Boost diffusion: Lightly crush a small portion of lavender buds for a stronger initial scent throw.
- Use a fixative: Orris root or a small amount of clay helps anchor essential oils.
- Refresh cycle: Add 1–2 drops of Lavender Essential Oil or Lavender Drift every 4–6 weeks.
- Activate before use: Gently squeeze sachets to reactivate the aroma.
Properly stored sachets can maintain aroma for 3–6 months depending on environment and oil usage.
