#### How to Use:
– **Ingredients**: Combine water, citrus slices (like lemon or orange), herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, or mint), and spices (like cinnamon sticks or cloves) in a pot.
– **Simmering**: Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for hours. Add more water as needed to keep the scent going throughout the day.
**Benefits**: Simmering herbs and spices not only smells wonderful but can also help purify the air and create a cozy atmosphere. The smell of simmering cinnamon, cloves, and citrus instantly evokes feelings of warmth and relaxation.
### 5. **Scented Sachets and Potpourri**
Scented sachets and potpourri are a great way to add natural fragrance to your home without any chemicals. Sachets filled with dried flowers, herbs, or spices can be placed in drawers, closets, or bathrooms to create a soft, pleasant aroma. Potpourri, made from dried flowers and essential oils, can be displayed in decorative bowls or containers in any room.
#### How to Use:
– **Scented Sachets**: Fill small fabric bags with dried lavender, rose petals, eucalyptus, or any combination of fragrant herbs and flowers. Place them in drawers, closets, or under your pillow for a subtle, refreshing scent.
– **Potpourri**: Mix dried flowers (like roses, lavender, and jasmine) with essential oils and display the potpourri in bowls around your home. You can refresh the scent by adding a few more drops of essential oil as needed.
**Benefits**: These options provide a more subtle and long-lasting fragrance compared to sprays. They’re also customizable—you can create your own blends to suit your preferences.
