Herbs aren’t just for food—they can fill your home with the scent of the season. Creating your own herbal potpourri or simmering blend is an easy, natural way to set the mood for Thanksgiving gatherings. Combine Cinnamon Sticks (shop), Clove Whole (shop), Bay Leaves Whole (shop), and a spoon of Mulling Spices Blend (shop) in a small pot of water. Let it simmer on low heat, and within minutes your home will smell warm, spicy, and inviting.
For a fresh herbal variation, combine Rosemary Leaf Whole with orange peel and a few drops of vanilla extract. The rosemary’s piney scent pairs perfectly with citrus and creates a natural “holiday tree” aroma. To make a dry potpourri that lasts for weeks, mix Lavender Flower Whole, Chamomile Flower Whole, and dried citrus peel in a bowl or sachet. Place it near doorways or on the table to keep your space gently perfumed without synthetic candles or sprays. Everything you need for these blends can be found in LA Herb’s aromatics collection.
