Ways to tell them apart:
Sachet refers to a small bag or packet, like those containing tea or spices.
Sashay can describe a type of dance movement or a way of walking flamboyantly.
The chet in sachet rhymes with may, while the shay in sashay stays the same.
When you sashay, think of swaying or swinging your hips, like in a dance.
Remember that sachet is tangible, something you can hold or smell, unlike sashay, which describes an action.
