How To Use a Sachet

Sachet 101

Everything you need to know about fragrance's most versatile form.

What is a sachet?

In short, we're an air freshener! Our scented sachets are artwork-wrapped envelopes filled with fragrance oils and vermiculite, sort of like fancy dirt. The special paper diffuses the fragrance over the course of about 6 months.

How do I use a sachet?

To use a sachet, simply place where you'd like a burst of fragrance, and enjoy! No need to open or light.

Avoid direct contact with surfaces like finished wood. The fragrance oils in the sachet can react with the surface and cause damage. Read the back label of the sachet to find out which surfaces you should not directly place your sachet envelope on.

Instead, store your sachet in your closet with clean (or dirty) towels, under the seat of your car, or between the liner of your trash can. There are SO many ways to sachet. For more ideas, check out our list!

Do I open a sachet?

No! The sachets are designed to release fragrance gradually while sealed, without getting fragrance oil everywhere. Just place it where you want fragrance, and it will do its job.

How long does a sachet last?

Sachets last for up to six months from the manufacturing date on the back of the packaging. But please note, for extra stinky situations like trash bins, you may need to replace your sachets more frequently.
