A trip to the Amish farm stand for corn and peppers included a stop on the way home. Oh my. I found Michel Design Works products and fell in love with this scent, Lavender Rosemary. The sachet will freshen my linens, which sometimes have a slight and odd odor to my sensitive nose. It's not overly strong but I'm hanging one in my closet also to see how it works.
Love love love this scent.
Worth the trip, even though the corn was unappetizing.
What's the best sachet product you've found? Do you use them in linen stash?
I've used scented wax, small candles, cotton balls sprayed with (bed) linen spray. None transferred to the fabric so I'm hoping this will. If it does, the scent would probably not last throughout the project so I'm making small bags with lavender to keep in the project bags.

I have been using a tea tree oil in my laundry and it get rid of that dampness smell
in towels. I tried it in my bath and it was too strong. In the washing machine just a few drops helped.
I would say the lavender is probably the best smelling.
I can almost smell it :)
I really don't use sachets that much...but I love fresh herbs of almost any kind. I converted my son's old sandbox to an herb garden and will just pick some basil, sage, rosemary, tansy, lavender, etc. and leave them to dry wherever I want a little fragrance. I also use a lot of essential oils and have diluted with water to use as room sprays. I don't like to risk the oils getting on fabrics, so don't use them as actual sachets though...anything strong enough to stop the oils from permeating to the fabric also blocks the fragrance it seems.
Hands down favourite:
1858 Shaker Potpourri from Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village. It was created by their Eldress in 1858 to keep moths out of stored clothes. I even sniff it when I’m sad— it helps♥️
i use soap perfumed in my towels
and essential oil of lavandin in my laundry
take care of you
Lavender is my favorite and have a bush in the garden.
Never thought of combining lavender with rosemary so will give this a try.
Stay save!

I'm very fond of Sandalwood. There's an outfit called Caswell-Massey, been in business since before the American Revolution. I use their Sandalwood Soap for my linens. On both the Sandalwood and Lavender they mention putting them in drawers to "give clothes a fresh scent" so obviously I'm not the only one that does this. My last bar lasted over a decade.
