The term potpourri is used in various contexts and always refers to the composition of different, not directly related elements in which a harmonious and aesthetic arrangement comes out. In addition to the term in the preparation of food or music, the potpourri is above all a core concept in floristry and here the archaic predecessor of modern fragrance bowls and candles. Literally translated from French, potpourri means "dead pot" or "spoiled pot" because a vessel used in this sense is no longer available for other purposes. Hundreds of years ago, petals, twigs and other plant parts were put together in a room in a room with them or generally to provide a better indoor climate. There were no sanitary facilities in the modern sense, potpourri fulfilled an essential task to provide olfactory in the home living area for a pleasant atmosphere. Over time, elements of flowers and other plants were replaced with oils and essences that were similar to fragrances, but lasted longer and were more handsome. In this sense, potpourris can be considered the forerunner of modern fragrant lights, where oil spreads through a tealight or other heat source stimulates with its essences in the room.
