Sachets containing desiccants
Although its most usual definition is that listed under "packet" (see link above), a sachet /ˈsæʃeɪ/ can also mean a small scented cloth bag filled with herbs, potpourri, or aromatic ingredients;[1][2] 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.[3]
