Day 66: In order to have gift potpourris as fresh as possible for Christmas giving, I waited until yesterday to add fragrance to a mixture of commercially purchased eucalyptus, scavenged yew and sweetfern (Comptonia peregrina) from my own garden. Included in the scents are additional eucalyptus (a mood-lifter and congestion reliever), lavender (likewise beneficial) and fir needle (a relaxant aroma), a formula which blends nicely despite the eucalyptus' strong note. These scents will last for several months without needing a refresher dose of essential oils, and the floral bits, already dried, will keep for many years to come.
