potpourri

An item whose name is derived from the word "pot" added with the suffix "-puri" meaning a) "fragrant aroma emitted to the air" as in "airpuri" (air purifier), b) "something memorable and nostalgic from the 1990's" which is named after the Japanese photo club known as "purikura" (print club).
