on 11/22/2005 When simmering potpourri begins to lose its potency, simply add a few drops of a fragrant oil similar to the one used originally in the potpourri. Also, since loose potpourri gets a little messy, you can put some potpourri in cheesecloth, tulle, netting, etc. and tie with string, ribbon or jute.
