Many people are surprised when stored flower smells stronger after a few days. This is common — and completely manageable with the right approach.

Why Smell Builds Over Time

How Airtight Storage Helps

Proper containers trap aroma compounds and prevent spread. They also preserve freshness and consistency.

Tips to Reduce Smell Naturally

  • Store in a cool, dark place

  • Use dedicated containers

  • Avoid plastic or fabric storage

Reassurance for Beginners

Strong smell doesn’t mean something is wrong. It’s simply chemistry doing what it does best.
