For a Rose and Lavender Pot Pourri:-
50 lavender stems
30 fresh baby roses
10 scented geranium leaves
1 tablespoon of oris root powder
1 teaspoon of fragrant oil (eg. musk, lavender or rose)
Dry the flowers and leaves by tying together in bunches and hanging for about 2 weeks.
When dry, crumble into a bowl, add the oris root powder and oil. As the fragrance starts to wear off, more oil can be added.
(Oris root and oil act as a fixative and help maintain the fragrance)
Place in a decorative bowl or container for a fresh fragrance around the home.
