Anyone have any experience making sachets? (Not potpourri but could be pretty much the same.) I've got all of the ingredients but am thinking it's mostly trial and error.

So here's what I think the process is. I have lavender essential oil that I'm going to add to orris root powder (a fixative made from irises). Then I'll add that to the dried lavender. Everything will eventually end up in silk sachets.

What I'm wondering about is whether the amount of essential oil to powder and the oil/powder to lavender is basically trial and error? Or if there's any kind of formula or guidelines?

Thanks for any advice.
