Potpourri: Science and Art from the Wisdom of Creating Incenses
Main Article Content
Abstract
Potpourri is a Thai incense that comes from combining science and the art of creating perfumery, including designing souvenirs used on various occasions, which has been popular since the past until the present. Potpourri is therefore cultural heritage and the method of scent utilization is advantageous, reflecting the meticulousness and creativity in established work. Potpourri production in the past popularly used local ingredients and manufacturing methods based on traditional wisdom. Due to social and cultural changes, innovative knowledge of the altered materials is integrated and deployed appropriately. This includes the use of technology in production that makes potpourri have various production models. Accordingly, the variety of incenses available at present leads consumers to have more options for their use. This is one because that has gradually decreased the popularity of traditional potpourri. Consequently, knowledge and product development are currently promoted as an alternative to conserving the traditional potpourri wisdom in order to meet current consumer needs, and potpourri is a cultural product that can be further developed to increase value by creating a Thai-style incense combined with artistic beauty.
