Title: Synthetic, cheap ingredients
Product review: I just bought some diffuser and a bag of potpourri. I've been using the original off and on for about 50 years--since Claire Burke was making it herself. I thought the dried stuff in the bag looked odd. It used to be all rose petals, lavender, something with blue petals, cinnamons spices, etc. in very fine pieces. The last time I bought it the pieces were bigger, but it still smelled okay. This new version resembles whole walnuts and hunks of wood soaked in some kind of synthetically produced version of the real scent. There's no way this could be used for making sachets, which is what I wanted. The diffuser smells almost medicinal. I doubt there is anything in the recipe that includes actual plant matter.It's obvious that this is NOT the original Claire Burke recipe. Whoever is manufacturing this stuff should be ashamed to even use the name on the label. Claire must be spinning in her grave.
