Note
Potpourri (/poʊpʊˈriː/ poh-puu-REE) is a mixture of dried, naturally fragrant plant materials used to provide a gentle natural scent, commonly in residential settings. It is often placed in a decorative bowl.

The word "potpourri" comes into English from the French word pot-pourri. The French term has two connotations. It is the French name for a Spanish stew with a wide variety of ingredients called olla podrida, a specialty of the city of Burgos.[citation needed] The word pot in French has the same meaning as it does in English (and as olla does in Spanish), while the word pourri, like Spanish podrida, means "rotten".
