potpourri
Dried petal mixture
Potpourri is a mixture of dried flower petals, herbs, and spices kept in a bowl to scent a room.
By extension, potpourri describes any miscellaneous collection or medley: The album is a potpourri of musical styles.
The word comes from French, literally "rotten pot"—originally a stew of various meats.
