What is Paint Pourri?
Paint Pourri is not a scented paint – it is an air freshener that uses paint as a carrier! When a 1 oz. package of Paint Pourri is added to a gallon of paint, the result is a long-lasting air freshener that helps combat odors for up to 6-12 months! As we at Scent-it say, “Turn your paint into a long-lasting air freshener!”

Why should I use Paint Pourri?
Paint Pourri was developed to provide a pleasant, long lasting fragrance and to help neutralize odors, including the natural odor of paint. Paint Pourri can be used to combat pet odors, smoke odors or just to refresh a room.

How long will the fragrance last?
Under optimum conditions Paint Pourri produces a pleasant fragrance and helps combat odors for up to 6-12 months in smaller areas and 4-6 months in larger areas. For best results, we recommend using two (2) coats with Paint Pourri in both the primer coat and topcoat when painting.

How strong is the fragrance level?
Paint Pourri was developed to provide a pleasant, long lasting fragrance and to help neutralize odors, including the natural odor of paint. The ratio recommendation of mixing one ounce per one gallon of paint produces a very subtle, pleasant fragrance. Paint Pourri was not designed to produce an overwhelming aroma, however, we understand that desired fragrance levels vary from consumer to consumer and if a stronger fragrance level is desired, an additional pouch can be added to the gallon of paint. You control the fragrance level!

If I don’t like the choice of fragrance after I paint, can I paint over the fragrance with another fragrance?
Yes! Simply painting over the treated area with unscented paint will lessen the fragrance. However, for best results to help eliminate a previous fragrance, we recommend a primer/sealer coat be applied over the previously treated area before applying the new coat. NOTE: Paint Pourri can be used in the primer coat, if desired.

Can Paint Pourri be used in stains, varnishes, and other coatings?
We are currently developing fragrance additives for coatings other than latex/latex enamel – stay tuned!
