A perfume pomander is designed to hold and release aromatics Traditionally used in the Middle Ages, these decorative objects were often filled with spices, herbs, and essential oils, serving both as a personal scent and as a means to ward off unpleasant odours, particularly in times when sanitation was less than ideal.
The term "pomander" is derived from the French phrase "pomme d'ambre," meaning "apple of amber." In its historic context, the pomander was often worn as a pendant or carried in the pocket, allowing the carrier to enjoy its lingering fragrance throughout the day. Today, pomanders are appreciated not only for their sensory appeal but also for their aesthetic qualities.
