materials. All materials are carefully blended. The mix should be covered tightly and aged together for at least six weeks. During this aging process the mixture should be carefully stirred every few days.

Phyls’ Basic Rose Potpourri
If you are a beginner, I suggest you divide the basic recipe into parts and try the variation separately. You will soon find which scents are the most appealing to you as a fragrance-creator!
1 tsp. rose oil, blended with 3 tablespoons ground orris root and allowed to “set” for a few days, covered, (I use empty spice jars for this), and then added to 1 quart crispy-dry rose petals.
Variations: For a spicy scent: add 2 tbls. each ground cloves and cinnamon. For a very sweet scent: add 2 cups lavender blossoms and 1/4 cup ground tonka or vanilla beans. For an exotic musky scent: add 1 cup patchouly leaves and 1/2 cup sandalwood and vetiver root. For a fruity scent : add 1 cup each of dried citrus peel, rose and lemone-scented geranium leaves, and lemon balm or lemon verbena.
Actually, you could mix all of the ingredients named in the variations together, (plus extra rose petals, oil, and orris root)! You wall soon find yourself adding “a bit of this” and a “touch of that” as you discover your favorite combinations.
