As the season of scented candles has arrived, why settle for artificial scents when you can make your home scrumptious and inviting with nature? Just like “pumpkin spice latte”, the fall season calls for fresh and autumnal scents that can keep your space fresh besides eliminating pesky odours. During fall, lighting store-bought candles for the cosy vibes sounds convenient, but putting together a simmer pot is a more natural alternative to paraffin products.

What is a simmer pot?
A simmer pot is basically a clever DIY stovetop potpourri made with an assortment of aromatic ingredients combined in a pot with water. When set on medium heat on the stove to simmer, this combination creates a pleasant, natural, and concentrated aroma in your home. Simmer pots are a much healthier and more economical alternative to any other scented candles or room fresheners. They are also faster at enveloping the whole house in a scent.
Putting your own artistry into the natural scents of orange, apples, cinnamon, flowers, and spices is a plus. If you are tired of your home smelling like dubious artificial scents, we have put together five different kinds of simmer pot recipes – read on to enhance your space and welcome your guests to these seasonal scents.
