Citrus Sachet

Citrus

Citrus is a genus of flowering trees and shrubs in the family Rutaceae. Plants in the genus produce citrus fruits, such as citrons, mandarins, and pomelos. Many important citrus crops have been developed through extensive hybridization, including oranges, lemons, grapefruits, and limes, all of which have many cultivars.

Sachet

Although its most usual definition is that listed under "packet", a sachet can also mean a small scented cloth bag filled with herbs, potpourri, or aromatic ingredients; or a small porous bag or packet containing a material intended to interact with its atmosphere; for example, desiccants are usually packed in sachets which are then placed in larger packages. Cotton, linen or organza are used to create the bag.
