Abstract
A scented material container with two connected compartments and connected straps. The compartments are preferably made of a fabric material that allows the scented material to emit the scent, preferably having a wide enough stitch pattern to allow the scented material to be viewed therein. Any known scented material can be located within the compartments, however, potpourri is preferred. Most preferably, scented beads or broken-leaf material are used. The scented material container can have a unique lingerie configuration. The container has particular advantages in methods and applications of scenting lingerie because the container readily blends in with the lingerie in the drawer and appears appropriate therein and the scented container enhances one's connotation or image of lingerie products and the beauty therein. The container also has a shape that can easily be manipulated and handled, can easily be hung or mounted, and can easily transmit scent.
