Simmer potpourri bag with cinnamon, orange, and clove botanicals

The Best Simmer Potpourri Scents for Cozy Fall Nights

If you've never tried simmer potpourri, it's one of the simplest ways to fill a home with fragrance. Add the botanical blend and included fragrance oil to a pot of water, bring it to a low simmer on the stove, and let the scent carry through the house — no candles, diffusers, or plug-ins required.

How Simmer Potpourri Works

Each bag comes with a botanical mix — dried fruit, spices, and other accents — plus a small vial of fragrance oil. Pour the botanicals and oil into a saucepan with at least 2 cups of water, simmer on low, and top off with water as needed. Never let it simmer dry, and always keep it away from kids and pets while it's on the stove.

Cinnamon Orange Clove

Cinnamon Orange Clove Simmer Potpourri is the classic fall stovetop scent — warm spice with a bright citrus edge. It's an easy first pick if you're new to simmering.

Apples & Spice

Apples & Spice Simmer Potpourri leans into orchard season with apple, cinnamon, and clove — good for kitchens especially.

Nutty Vanilla

For something softer, Nutty Vanilla Simmer Potpourri blends vanilla, cinnamon, and almond into a warm, bakery-adjacent scent.

Cozy Evergreens

If you're ready to start easing toward winter, Cozy Evergreens Simmer Potpourri brings in pine and balsam without going full holiday just yet.

Each bag includes a refresher oil vial, so you can simmer it more than once. See the rest of the lineup in the potpourri collection.
