Should I Open My Sachet?

Quick Answer

No—keep your sachet sealed. Fresh Scents® sachets are designed to work unopened. The fragrance diffuses through the paper envelope on its own, no unwrapping required.

Why You Shouldn't Open It

We get it—when something smells that good, there's a temptation to tear it open and really let it breathe. But opening a sachet creates a mess and can cause problems.

The vermiculite inside is saturated with fragrance oil, which isn't meant to come in direct contact with surfaces. If exposed, the oil can cause discoloration or damage to furniture, fabrics, finished surfaces, plastics, and painted items.

Keep it sealed, and the sachet does all the work for you—no cleanup, no accidents, no regrets.

How to Use It Instead

Simply place an unopened sachet wherever you'd like steady fragrance. The special paper allows scent to diffuse gradually while keeping everything neatly contained.
