What is the point of it? Has anyone on here actually bought some for use in their own house?

We’ve had a cull of unwanted Pot Pourri that has been accumulated over the course of many Christmases and have 13 unopened bags heading for the school Christmas Fair.

If my kids win any of it back I will make them eat it.

MrsDummy uses it. By "uses" I mean "places in bowls in rooms". I don't know why, or indeed where it comes from. It's not grounds for divorce I don't think.

Always thought you had to be retired and had given up on life to own/use the stuff.

It's great for starting up your Wood Burner, stinks a bit first off but then once the logs take hold it turns normal.

If you think they're bad on here, stay away from the Monday night pub rides.

Right barrel of laughs....

HtS - close, very close.

Don't ever attempt to dispose of pot pourri in a hoover. It blasts the smell throughout the house and you rush to empty the bag. Which, as an average bloke, you've never done before. Thus leading to a stinky fluff disaster.

Just don't.

My wife has smelly candles. Which my nose can ignore. But one of them lights up and changes colour, and she just sits there giggling at it when it does this. Am I missing something?

Assume it's a sexual hint, every time. What could go wrong?

What is pot pourri made from? It looks like the detritus from the bottom of my woodshed. Complete with cobwebs and dead spiders.

And why do I have a bowl of aggregate on my bedside table? What use is it? And why do I need it?

Pot Pourri, insense sticks, smelly candles, Glade fkn plug ins etc... I'm so damn glad my missus hates them all as much as I do.

If your house smells that bad, clean it. Don't plug things into your sockets to mask it.

the wife hates using air fresheners so we started to use the dreaded pot pouri....simply because she had a few nice vases she reckoned would look good scattered about filled with the stuff...then the kids would start throwing them around which annoyed her as much as it annoyed me.
so all the bowls have gone...but we still have one of those airwick automatic spray things which randomly puffs a bit of scent out. its on the dvd shelf ad if you walk near and time it wrong you get a blast in the face which i've been the unlucky victim on more than one ocassion. once our supply of the refills are finished they will end up in the bin...as she now fancies using scented oils... 😯

You forgot to mention diffusers Harry!

Me I love pot pourri, candles and diffusers. There can never be enough gorgeous smells in my home. 😉

I'm quite partial to the old essential oil burner.

I'll hand my testicles in on the way out, shall I?

I thought pot pourri was a 1980s fad, never to be seen stinking and gathering dust since?
I do like the smell of beeswax candles though!
