How to Use a Greenleaf Scented SachetUpdated 2 hours ago

Greenleaf created the original scented sachet in 1975, and it remains our signature source of fragrance! A sachet is a paper envelope filled with fragrance-infused vermiculite that adds long-lasting scent anywhere you need it—no flames, plugs, or sprays required.

Quick Start Guide

Do NOT open the sachet. Simply place it anywhere you'd like fragrance.

Important: Avoid contact with skin, furniture, fabrics, finished surfaces, plastics, and painted items as it may cause damage or discoloration. See warning on package.

How long do they last? Up to 9 months, depending on environment. Warmer temperatures and air movement intensify the scent but may cause it to dissipate faster.
