Looking for a chic, natural way to keep your clothes and linen drawers smelling divine? Step away from synthetic air fresheners and embrace the power of botanicals! These easy DIY scented sachets use pure plant oils and butters from The Skin Science Company to create long-lasting, gentle fragrance—no artificial scents, just the real thing.
Why Make Your Own Botanical Drawer Sachets?
-
Natural & Non-Toxic: Avoid synthetic fragrances that can irritate sensitive skin or linger on clothing.
-
Customisable Scents: Tailor the aroma to match your mood or the season using a blend of your favourite oils.
-
Gently Conditions Fabric: A touch of butter (like mango or cocoa) adds softness to your linens as it melts ever so slightly in warm weather.
What You’ll Need
-
1 tbsp Mango Butter
-
10 drops Rosehip Oil
-
8 drops Peppermint Essential Oil
-
6 drops Tea Tree Oil (optional, for extra freshness & mildew prevention)
-
1/2 cup uncooked rice or dried lavender buds (as filler)
-
Small cotton or muslin bags (or DIY with fabric scraps)
Directions
-
Soften the Butter
Gently melt mango butter in a heat-safe bowl until just soft—not liquid. -
Blend Oils
Add rosehip, peppermint, and (optional) tea tree oils to the butter. Stir until well mixed. -
Mix with Filler
In a large bowl, combine your scented butter mixture with rice or dried lavender buds. Toss until evenly coated—the filler will absorb the oil and slowly release scent. -
Fill Sachets
Spoon the mixture into your sachet bags and tie closed. -
Place & Enjoy
Slip sachets into drawers, linen closets, gym bags, or anywhere you need a botanical boost!
Customise Your Scent
-
For a calming aroma: Swap peppermint for a few drops of rosehip, pomegranate seed, or maracuja oil.
-
For summer freshness: Add more peppermint and tea tree.
-
For subtle floral: Try a blend with watermelon seed oil and a bit of acai berry oil.
Why These Ingredients?
-
Mango Butter: Binds the fragrance and softly conditions nearby fabrics.
-
Peppermint & Tea Tree Oils: Refresh and naturally repel mildew or mustiness.
-
Rosehip Oil: Adds a gentle, sophisticated scent—especially lovely for bedding and towels.
Pro Tip:
Replace the sachet mixture every 2-3 months or whenever the scent fades. You can also revive them with a few extra drops of oil.
