Liquid oil potpourri

Homemade liquid potpourri oil has been made for centuries to help place a pleasant aroma into the air of homes and offices. Homemade liquid oil potpourri can be made with essential oils that please your senses, and can be burned and warmed in candle burners and potpourri warmers.
