Why Epsom Salt Potpourri?

Epsom salt isn’t just for baths — it’s an incredible base for potpourri!

  • It holds essential oils beautifully.

  • It adds a shimmering, minimalist look.

  • It’s affordable, eco-friendly, and pairs perfectly with dried herbs, flowers, and citrus.


Plus, when displayed in our handmade concrete bowls, trays, or pots from Botanical Blueprint, it elevates your home with a natural style.

How to Make & Enjoy Your Potpourri

  1. Mix Epsom salt with dried herbs in a bowl.

  2. Add essential oils, stirring gently.

  3. Seal the mix in a jar for 1–2 days to let the scent infuse fully.

  4. Display in a decorative bowl, dish, or pouch.

  5. Refresh weekly with a few extra drops of oil.


    For best results, always use dried flowers and herbs in your Epsom salt potpourri. Fresh botanicals can introduce moisture, which may cause clumping or reduce the shelf life of your mix.


Tips for Better Use & Longer-Lasting Fragrance

  1. Seal the mix in a jar before displaying to deepen the scent.

  2. Stir occasionally to release hidden fragrance.

  3. Cover when not in use to preserve aroma.

  4. Pair with our minimalist concrete accessories for a chic, cohesive look.

FAQs About Epsom Salt Potpourri Recipes

1. How long does Epsom salt potpourri last?

With occasional stirring and a few extra drops of essential oil weekly, Epsom salt potpourri can keep its scent for 2–4 weeks.


2. Do I need to use a sealed jar before displaying?

Yes! Sealing the mix in a jar for 1–2 days helps the oils and botanicals fully infuse the salt, making the scent stronger and longer-lasting.


3. Where’s the best place to display potpourri at home?

We recommend placing them in smaller spaces such as bedrooms, bathrooms, or your workspace. Use a decorative dish, pouch, or concrete bowl for the best effect.


4. Can I reuse the Epsom salt mix?

Yes, you can refresh the scent by adding new essential oils. However, after a few weeks, it’s best to replace the herbs for a fresh look and smell.


5. What makes these recipes different from other potpourri?

These mood-based blends are designed to complement your emotions — from calm and cosy to energising and focused — using natural, minimalist ingredients.
