Talk:Potpourri

Headline text
hello my name is danni and i am doing my homework for technology with micah and i am researching pot pourri as we are making an air freshener at trinity school it is the best lo, xox


 * "It is usually placed in a decorative wooden bowl" ...in double-wide mobile homes. Proper houses and even proper apartments have porcelain containers with pierced lids, made for the purpose. What is this "Usually?" Sachet is another missing concept in this article...--Wetman 04:44, 17 March 2007 (UTC)


 * While I can agree with the container in which potpourri is stored in, I take offense to the fact that Wetman considers those living in apartments lower-class citizens. I guess that would mean those successful professionals who live in apartments in New York, LA or any other big city must have less class than the average midwest home-owner (which I proudly am from).  --96.18.63.85 (talk) 03:32, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Removed French text
I removed the following French text from the opening line of the article.


 * "...This article is about plants. C'EST DU POT POURRIS COLISSSSSS DU POT QUI EST PU BON. DU POT POURRIS...."

I do not read French but suspect it may not need to be here. At best, I suspect it contains a misspelling, "COLISSSSSS" ??? At worst, it may be vandalism.Pugetbill (talk) 12:33, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm french, and it is actually vandalism (even if it's not correct french). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.161.160.75 (talk) 15:40, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Expand
This page needs to be expanded to include the concepts of home fragrance and scented merchandise. It also needs to have links for research and include sachets and pomanders. Will update soon after some more research. Writing to several potpourri companies for historical information and information about hand-made potpourri blends. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.113.194.162 (talk • contribs)


 * Sounds like a good idea. Of course, if the companies provide something that's just a starting point, not necessarily a reliable source in and of itself, but we'll see how it goes. I will offer a caution against peacock terms and language that is promotional in nature; I have therefore partly reverted a large recent edit on these grounds.  For example, if we are going to cite a patent, we need to give a patent number, not just a vague reference to the US patent office. Kingdon (talk) 11:45, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
