I am big on smells in my house. Whether it be candles, essential oils or simmer pots, to me a good smelling house is cozy. This potpourri recipe is a scent even guys will most likely enjoy. It’s a touch of citrus with a nice woodsy scent that is very pleasant.

The ingredients include oranges, bay leaves, rosemary and mesquite wood chips (the kind used when smoking meat).

Simply place all ingredients into a pot of simmering water and wait for the scent to fill the room.

I originally used three good sized wood chips. Then decided I wanted a stronger scent so I added a couple more. You can determine the amount of scent by how many of each ingredient you add.

Set the burner on low and enjoy.

Be sure to keep an eye on the water level. If it gets too low, just add more water.
