Forest Hearth Stovetop Simmer

The Forest Hearth Stovetop Simmer fills a house with the scent of a wood fire and evergreen without any actual smoke, a blend meant to simmer on the stovetop in a pot of water rather than burn as a wick.

What makes a simmer pot worth choosing over a candle here is reach: steam carries scent through a house faster and further than a single wick ever could, which makes this a strong pick for welcoming guests into a home that already smells warm and wooded before they've stepped through the door. We love how well it captures the smell of an actual hearth without the mess or upkeep of a real fire — useful on nights when a fireplace isn't practical but the mood still calls for it anyway.

Simmer a batch during a holiday gathering, or on any quiet evening that calls for the atmosphere of a cabin rather than an ordinary living room at home. It pairs naturally with the Patina Metal Pinecone Taper Holder and the rest of this season's Natural Noel collection, and with real greenery like the Real Touch Cedar Mix Pre-Lit Garland for a fully immersive woodland scene, seen and smelled at once, filling every room it reaches.
