The Potpourri Reinvented, Lava Rock, Iron, And A Ritual For The Senses

Potpourri once meant dried petals in a dish, today it is a living sculpture, raw lava rock in hand-blackened iron, quietly perfuming the room with a presence you can see, touch, and arrange.

What Makes It Different

• The Vessel, blackened iron with a tactile patina, each piece carries the trace of the hand, tiny variations that make it feel found rather than manufactured.

• The Medium, porous lava rocks that drink in perfume oil, release it slowly, and can be refreshed over time.

• The Ritual, instead of a one-and-done sachet, you renew the scent, you choose the intensity, you design the atmosphere.

How It Works

1. Place the iron vessel where scent can circulate, a console, low shelf, bedside, or entryway.

2. Add a few lava stones if you want a lighter trail, add more if you want a stronger presence.

3. Drip a small amount of the included perfume oil onto the rocks, start with 3 to 5 drops, then wait a minute for the stones to absorb.

4. Reapply when the trail softens, usually every few days or weekly depending on room size and airflow.

Choosing Your Scent Character

• Earthy Woods, for grounding rooms, think studies, reading corners, slow evenings.

• Mineral Smoke, for dramatic spaces, think entry halls, dining tables, conversation zones.

• Herbal Resin, for clarity and cleansing, think kitchens, work desks, refresh between tasks.

• Warm Spice, for comfort, think living rooms, guest rooms, gentle hospitality.

Styling Tips

• Treat the vessel as an object, pair it with a stack of books, a mineral, a single candle, or a small branch.

• Use scale to your advantage, a larger vessel anchors a room, a smaller one punctuates a vignette.

• Layer scent thoughtfully, pair the potpourri with a complementary room mist for a moment of lift, then let the rocks carry the base tone.

Care And Longevity

• Keep the vessel away from direct sun and heat sources, this preserves both oil and patina.

• If dust gathers on the rocks, remove them and tap gently, do not wash under water, the pores should remain open.

• If a rock becomes over saturated, set it aside to rest, rotate with a drier stone, maintain balance in the bowl.

Why People Fall In Love With It
Because it feels intentional, a minimal gesture that transforms space, because it is refillable and evolves with you, because it is as much sculpture as it is scent.

Closing Invitation
Choose a scent that reflects your room and your rhythm, refresh the rocks, and let the ritual become part of your day.
