Various kinds of fragrances to scent the room increasingly used the plural. One of them potpourry or potpouri. Fragrance from the flowers, leaves, wood shavings, and dry beans are usually used as garnish for the air freshener in the bedroom, bathroom, or a car.
Potpouri more often found in shopping centers. Please understand, the process of making a unique fragrance that is quite easy. Raw material can be from any plant. However, the most popular are rose, jasmine, rosella, acacia, and the edelweiss flower which is then dried.

However, because the fragrance that lasted only a month, Princess Adimukti Wibisono, owner of Spice Princess in Jakarta only make potpouri if there is an order. "The system is made by order. I do not dare to take risks when there is no order," he said.
This is one disadvantage potpouri business. Namely, the product can not be mass produced. Another drawback, namely the difficulty of searching for raw materials. Moreover, in big cities are rarely unique flower varieties.
No wonder, potpouri price was fairly expensive. Princess membanderol products per bag to Rp 25,000. He said, in a month, at least serve 100 orders. So turnover of about USD 2.5 million per month.

Meanwhile, Rima Tan, owner of Blooms in Bandung make potpouri to serve regular orders from the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Jakarta. Hotels usually use potpouri for room fragrance.
But, he also served orders dried flowers that have not diwangikan for big malls such as Plaza Senayan and Plaza Indonesia. No wonder, within a month, Rima could reap up to $ 25 million turnover.
According to Rima, business prospects are very good. Because the residential luxury fragrance always need the room. Privileges potpouri free from chemicals. "It's safer to health," he said. ( Rivi Yulianti / KONTAN )
