Brief History of Potpourri and Why we Love it - Maison d'Orient

The History of Potpourri and Why we Love it Fragrant potpourri has been around for centuries, adding the lovely aromas of dried herbs, flowers and spices to all the places around your home that required a fresh scent. Potpourri, as we know and love it today, is not always how it was made. The history of potpourri is quite interesting… The word ‘potpourri’ comes to us from the French word pot-pourri. Translated, this means ‘rotten pot’. That is probably not the beautiful definition you were hoping for! As we look to the history of potpourri, we learn how potpourri received this name and how modern-day potpourri takes all the lovely scents and traditional reasoning for potpourri but removes the rotten aspect. In the early 17th century in France, fresh herbs and flowers were gathered during the spring and summer months
