Ways to tell them apart:
- Both words begin with s and have ach, but their meanings are unrelated.
- Sachet has a t on the end, like in packet, which helps to remember that it relates to a small bag or pouch.
- Sashay sounds like a rhythmic movement; the ay ending gives it a swishy feel.
- Sachet is typically associated with items like lavender or potpourri, while sashay evokes dance or confident movement.
- Think of sachet as something you take out of a drawer, while sashay is a way you might move if you're dancing.
