  • For the best result, do not use the tap water as it contains other chemical stuff. Only distilled water (which is so cheap) or bottled water is recommended.
  • If you want to have the original poo pourri scent, use rubbing alcohol or vodka. It turns the liquid solution to something like milky substance which is the original look of the poo Pourri. By the way, rubbing alcohol works as the stabilizer for the solution.
  • Don’t use synthetic blends of essential oil produced in the labs. Only use the 100% natural essential oil which is widely available in the market at a very cheap cost. The scent should the choice of yours. Most people prefer lavender or peppermint.
  • The number of alcohol drops and glycerin is not a rocket science requirement. You can change the variation and find out which works best for you.
