Sachet with potpourri

10. Potpourri and perfumes that "make scents."

Scents can bring back memories and sometimes be more potent than words. Include your signature perfume, favorite soap or some samples of potpourri that you tuck inside your chest of drawers. Be careful to preserve these scents by placing them inside plastic bags.
