I am the type of person who always has to have some sort of fragrance action going on in my home, but it is unlikely you will see me burning any candles. I prefer to keep it natural and just as importantly, keep it cheap. Candles can cost a TON of money and they aren't very good for indoor air quality. Good thing for us there are stove top potpourri recipes, which make your home smell absolutely divine without grabbing a $20 candle from the store; even better, they're made up of items you can probably find in your fridge! If Essential Oils are more your speed, then try out these scent hacks.
For those of you who haven't heard of stove top potpourri yet, your life is about to get so much better. Stove top potpourri is when you gather lovely smelling items you have in your fridge and just throw them in a boiling pot of water on the stove. Simple, right? If you don't want to specifically buy items just for throwing in the pot, just take your leftover peels and scraps after you make your meal and throw those in the pot instead! So without further ado, here are some stove top potpourri recipes to make your home the envy of all your friends with scents full of depth without the irritation of polluted air or empty wallets!
HEADS UP: Your home is about to smell delicious!
This one is a familiar scent combination that will appeal to a tremendous variety of people. It is the smell of good old fashioned fruit and spices. Since this one is a little more involved when it comes to ingredients, you might have to hit up your local grocery to make it. It totally looks worth it though and I will be trying it out very soon.
I love how simple yet thoughtful this recipe is! With only 3 ingredients, you really don't have to go too much out of your way to make it. I love how clean this one smells but the vanilla helps to tone it down a little so the scent isn't too bright. You gotta admit, this is a stove top potpourri you wouldn't mind showing off to friends as it's just so visually appealing.
While it can't be Fall year round, you can at least make it smell like it (and that is something I could really live with). I love the depth and richness to this scent; it is perfect for cuddling up under some blankets next to a toasty fireplace! For those of you who live in an area that is cold a fair amount of the year, you're welcome!
In case you aren't a Fall nut like me, don't worry, there are options for you too (and here is an wonderful one at that)! This one looks super easy to make and I will definitely have to get my hands on some of that coconut extract to make it work. I am totally ready for warm weather now!
