What's your favourite pot pourri recipe?
I'm a raw beginner here, made some pot pourri last year with rose petals but it's getting musty, so it's time to make some more. I have a garden full of gorgeous, fragrant roses, lavender and herbs, and I also have some orris root, but can get other supplies from local health store which has a large range of dried herbs, flowers and spices.
I want a pot pourri that smells mainly of roses and lavender, but with some judicious additions of spices, etc. Would vanilla be a good ingredient? If so, in what form? And does anyone use chamomile flowers for pot pourri? I love chamomile tea!
Grateful for any hints, tips and recipes you've tried.

Maybe the perfume industry bought up all the crops/futures. Maybe some other reason - like safety issues? We used to have access to all kinds of things back then that we don't now, some of them now deemed dangerous, and other materials were over harvested and are now rarer and very costly. Anyway, enjoy and good luck!
