− | Much modern potpourri consists of any decoratively shaped dried plant material (not necessarily from scented plants) with strong synthetic perfumes (and also often strongly coloured dyes) added, with the scent often bearing no relation to the plant material used. Sometimes, items which do not originate from plants are mixed in with the potpourri, to give it bulk and to make it more aesthetically pleasing. It is possible to spray scents onto potpourri, however a fixative is needed so that the scent is absorbed. Generally, orris root is used for this purpose.

− | The word potpourri comes from the French word "pot-pourri," which was the French name for a Spanish stew with a wide variety of ingredients called olla podrida. In English, "potpourri" is often used to refer to any collection of miscellaneous or diverse items.

− | A '''[[W:pomander|pomander]]''', from [[W:French language|French]] ''pomme dambre'', i.e. apple of amber, is a ball made of perfumes, such as [[W:ambergris|ambergris]] (whence the name), [[W:musk|musk]], or [[W:civit|civet]]. The pomander was worn or carried in a vase, also known by the same name, as a protection against [[W:infection|infection]] in times of pestilence or merely as a useful article to modify bad smells. The globular cases which contained the pomanders were hung from a neck-chain or attached to the girdle, and were usually perforated and made of gold or silver. Sometimes they contained several partitions, in each of which was placed a different perfume. There is an early Spanish pomander set with [[W:emerald|emeralds]], and a fine 16th century one, dredged from the Thames, in the [[W:British Museum|British Museum]].
