Guest Episode: Scents and Sensibility

Gastropod is excited to present this guest episode of Outside/In
called Scents and Sensibility. Once upon a time, potpourri was a
popular way to freshen up a space. Now, for some, it feels a bit
like the lava lamp of fragrance: an outdated fad from a bygone
decade. Why was potpourri so popular in the 1980’s, and what
happened to it? Did the trend dry up, or just evolve? In this
episode, Outside/In explores the transformation of potpourri, from
the fermented mush of the Victorian era to the perfumed and
colorful bag of pine cones of the eighties, and talks to a few of
the people still making potpourri today. Learn more about your ad
