Create Your Personalised Stovetop Pot Pourri: Natural Scents for Unforgettable Moments

There’s a reason why a particular smell can stop you in your tracks. Our sense of smell is directly linked to memory and emotion. Unlike other senses, scents travel straight to the brain’s emotional centre, the limbic system. This is why the smell of fresh pine can instantly remind you of Christmas mornings, or a whiff of lavender can bring back memories of a summer garden.


Research from Harvard University explains that smells reach the brain's areas for emotion and memory faster than any other sense. Studies also show that familiar scents can help people recall happy memories more effectively than even words or pictures.


This deep connection makes simmer pots — also known as stovetop potpourri — a powerful, natural way to create unforgettable moments.


Why Create a Signature Simmer Pot for Your Event?

If you're hosting a wedding, birthday party, or family gathering, why not create a signature scent that will forever remind everyone of your special day?

Simmer pots are natural, subtle, and eco-friendly—no harsh chemicals or overpowering sprays — just a gentle fragrance filling the space with warmth and heart.


Practical Tips for Parties and Events

1. Strategically Place Slow Cookers or Crockpots

  • Use small, slow cookers placed around the venue.

  • Keep them on the "keep warm" or low setting with the lids off.

  • This maintains the scent's consistency and safety for extended periods.


2. Match Your Simmer Pot to the Season or Theme

  • Spring Wedding: Lemon slices, lavender, rosemary.

  • Autumn Party: Apple slices, cinnamon sticks, cloves.

  • Winter Celebration: Orange peels, cranberries, pine sprigs.


3. Safety First

  • Continuously monitor water levels to prevent drying out.

  • Place simmer pots in safe, low-traffic areas.
