Claire Burke had always been drawn to the allure of spicy fragrances, especially those crafted from natural herbs. Her lifelong interest in flowers and herbs began in childhood when she was captivated by the aromatic sachets her mother created, mixing herbs and flowers to scent their home. This early exposure to the world of natural scents left a lasting impression on Claire. Later in life, when she and her husband Fred were living in New York, she sought to recreate the sachets her mother had once made, aiming to infuse their apartment with the same freshness. "My mother used to make potpourris for the linen closets," Claire recalled, explaining how she inherited the practice and then began experimenting with her own ingredients. Her goal was to find a fragrance that captured the spicy notes she loved, something she had never been able to find on the market.
After much experimentation, Claire finally discovered the perfect formula. This success allowed her to keep her own living spaces filled with the scents she adored, but it didn’t stop there. She began packaging the sachets as Christmas gifts for her friends, who were enchanted by the unique and fragrant blends. Word of her creations spread, and soon, people were approaching Claire with requests for more of the aromatic mixtures. The growing demand led Claire and Fred to consider turning her hobby into a business venture. However, realizing that the competition and costs in Manhattan were too high, they decided to relocate to Charlottesville, Virginia, where they could cultivate their business in a more favorable environment.
Determined to turn her passion into a business, Claire Burke founded her company, naming it "Claire Burke Pot Pourri." She operated the fledgling enterprise from her home, where she and her husband, Fred, worked tirelessly to bring her fragrant creations to life. After renting a house on Rugby Place, the couple began mixing the potpourri in their kitchen, using the screened back porch as their packaging area. The work was hands-on and labor-intensive, but their efforts paid off as they soon had enough jars of potpourri to begin selling to retailers. Reflecting on their humble beginnings, Claire recalled, "My husband and I put in an original investment of $100 for the ingredients. We mixed it up in the bathtub and bottled it in apothecary jars."
With their product ready for the market, the Burkes embarked on the next phase of their business journey—selling. They visited local gift shops and specialty stores, bringing with them samples of their potpourri, carefully packaged in apothecary jars topped with corks and tied with green velvet ribbons. The attention to detail and the uniqueness of their product quickly caught the attention of shop owners. "This was in March, 1953, a date we will never forget," Fred Burke recounted. On two consecutive Saturdays—their only free days, as they both had other jobs—the Burkes made 18 sales calls and received 18 orders. This immediate success solidified their venture, marking the official start of their business. From that point forward, Claire Burke Pot Pourri was on its way to becoming a well-known name in the world of home fragrance.
As the demand for Claire Burke Pot Pourri continued to grow, the Burkes found themselves overwhelmed by the influx of orders. Recognizing the need for more space to accommodate their rapidly expanding business, they decided to relocate their operation to a new, larger location. They chose Brookhill on Scottsville Road (Route 20), a classic red brick house steeped in history, built in 1810. The house had once belonged to William Dunkum, a Scotsman who had served as a cabinet maker for Thomas Jefferson. The Burkes were captivated by the property's rich heritage, and they aptly named it the 1740 House, though it was built later.
The property was more than just a charming historical residence; it also included a seven-room guest house located behind the main house. The Burkes saw the potential in this space and converted it into a workshop where they could blend, process, and package their potpourri. The expanded quarters allowed them to keep up with the increasing orders and continue refining their production process. With this move, Claire Burke Pot Pourri was no longer just a small home-based venture but a full-fledged business operating out of a property that symbolized both growth and the blending of tradition with innovation.
Claire Burke soon found herself inundated with requests from customers who wanted more than just traditional potpourri. They began asking for products they could use in their daily lives—potpourri to wash with, home fragrances, and even products for bathing. Responding to these demands, Claire expanded her product line to include an array of innovative offerings. She introduced "Pot Pourri" for scenting linens, "Sopourri," a fine detergent specifically for laundering delicate lingerie, as well as eau de cologne, sachets, fragrance oils, soaps, candles, and scented note paper. She even developed "Vapourri," a room spray that quickly became one of her most popular products. The expansion of her line allowed customers to integrate her signature scents into every aspect of their lives.
The personal connection that Claire's customers felt with her products was evident in the letters she received. "I had all kinds of people writing me letters and asking me things," Claire recalled. These letters often went beyond mere inquiries; people shared their personal stories and how her fragrances impacted their lives. One woman wrote to Claire, explaining that her husband's job required them to live in a house trailer, a situation she found unbearable. However, the woman credited "Vapourri" with making her living conditions more tolerable, saying she couldn't have stayed in the trailer without it.
Claire also shared stories of how her products reached new customers in unexpected ways. In California, a woman who had rented a house found an almost empty jar of potpourri in one of the rooms. Enchanted by the lingering scent, she wrote to Claire using the address on the jar's label, ordering several bottles and inquiring about where she could purchase more locally. Another instance involved a woman in Seattle who had some beads restrung by a jeweler. When the jeweler returned the beads in a Burke sachet box, the woman was so taken with the scent that she became a new customer as well. These stories highlighted the far-reaching influence of Claire Burke's products and the deep connection her customers felt to the scents she created.
To create the distinct and cherished Claire Burke products, a New York importer procured the original ten ingredients that formed the foundation of the brand's potpourri. The process of making the potpourri was a truly global endeavor, with ingredients sourced from various parts of the world. Rosebuds were imported from France, lavender from England, France, and Portugal, cardamom from India, hibiscus from Sudan, anise from China, cinnamon from Ceylon, cloves from the Dutch East Indies, and coriander from Norway. Despite the international nature of most ingredients, the rose petals were initially a local contribution, harvested from Mrs. Burke's own garden. However, by 1960, as the demand for Claire Burke's potpourri grew, the rose petals began to be sourced from France, and much later, in the 1980s, they were imported from Morocco. Other botanical ingredients such as chamomile, angelica, rosemary, and sage were also essential components of the blend, adding to the richness and complexity of the final product.
Once the raw materials arrived in Charlottesville, packed in 150-pound burlap bags, the intricate process of transforming these ingredients into potpourri began. The materials underwent sorting, chopping, cracking, and grinding—all of which took place at the Burkes' Brookhill property. While the bulk of the processing and packaging occurred at Brookhill, the production of certain items required specialized expertise. The Pot Pourri sachets, for instance, were the only products made entirely on-site. Initially, the mixture was blended in an old-fashioned dough tray, but as production scaled up, the process was moved to a large vat measuring eight feet by six feet by two. This ensured consistency and quality in every batch. On the other hand, an Ohio soapmaker was responsible for producing the soap and Sopourri, while a New York chemist crafted the Vapourri room sprays. Each product, though made with the finest ingredients sourced from around the globe, had its own unique production journey, culminating in the finished goods that Claire Burke's customers came to love and rely on.
Claire Burke played an integral role in the design and presentation of her products, ensuring that every detail of the packaging reflected the elegance and quality of the contents. She personally designed the wrappings and packages that housed the Burke products, collaborating closely with Mrs. Kitty Moran Griffin, a talented Charlottesville artist, who brought Claire’s visions to life through her illustrations. The aesthetic appeal of the products was enhanced by carefully chosen details—everything from the ink used for printing the labels to the cord and velvet ribbon used in tying the packages was specially dyed in a distinctive moss green. This attention to detail extended to the scale of production; for instance, the green velvet ribbon was ordered in vast quantities, 10,000 yards at a time, to ensure a consistent, luxurious touch on every package. Additionally, tiny sprays of flowers, used to adorn many of the products, were shipped to Charlottesville in large boxloads, ready to be incorporated into the final presentation.
Claire's dedication to creating beautiful and functional packaging did not go unnoticed. In the 1950s, her designs won national acclaim, competing against major fragrance and cosmetic firms from across the country. In 1954, she received her first award for beauty and serviceability in the National Paper Box Manufacturing Association Competition, a recognition that validated her commitment to excellence. Nearly a decade later, in 1963, she earned another prestigious award for packaging excellence for her Fontana scented soaps. These accolades highlighted her ability to marry aesthetics with practicality, making her products not only visually appealing but also a pleasure to use.
One of Claire Burke's most cherished memories was a statement from one of her important customers, who perfectly encapsulated the ethos of her brand: "To me, your products reflect the care that goes into good living." This sentiment echoed Claire's philosophy that every element of her products, from the ingredients to the packaging, should embody the art of living well, creating an experience that went beyond mere fragrance to touch on the deeper aspects of home and personal care.
By 1960, the Claire Burke company had grown significantly from its humble beginnings. What started as a two-person operation, with Claire and Fred Burke at the helm, had expanded into a thriving business with 10 full-time employees. Additionally, several at-home workers were employed to fill the Sopourri envelopes, contributing to the production process. The company’s reach had also broadened, with Claire Burke Pot Pourri products being sold in more than 3,000 outlets worldwide. The popularity of the brand was not limited to everyday customers; even the Duchess of Windsor placed a personal order. Reflecting on their success, Claire noted, "Throughout the years, we've never had any business refuse us," a testament to the universal appeal and quality of their offerings.
In 1962, further cementing their presence in the market, the Burkes opened the Claire Burke Pot Pourri Shop, strategically located in the Thomas Jefferson Inn on US 29 North. This retail space provided a dedicated venue for customers to experience and purchase Claire Burke's products directly, further enhancing the brand’s accessibility and appeal.
By 1966, the company had expanded its production capabilities even further, venturing into the realm of private label manufacturing. Claire Burke’s expertise in fragrance and packaging was sought after by prestigious retailers such as Neiman Marcus and others, who trusted the brand to create exclusive products under their own labels. This move into private labeling not only demonstrated the versatility and skill of the Claire Burke company but also solidified its reputation as a leading name in the fragrance industry.
After the passing of her husband, Fred Burke, Claire Burke made the difficult decision to sell her thriving business in 1973. The company was acquired by Minnetonka, a Minnesota-based firm known for its own line of personal care products. Despite the change in ownership, Minnetonka recognized the value of Claire Burke’s vision and expertise, retaining her as a consultant. This allowed Claire to continue influencing the direction of the company she had built from the ground up.
Importantly, Minnetonka chose to keep the 1740 House on Route 250 in Charlottesville, Virginia, as the place of operation. This historic property, which had been the heart of Claire Burke Pot Pourri, continued to serve as the center of production and business activities. For Claire, the 1740 House held a deep personal significance, representing both her journey and the legacy of her work. Although she was no longer involved in the day-to-day operations, Claire made occasional visits to the old house, maintaining a connection to the business that had grown out of her passion for fragrance and design.
These visits to the 1740 House allowed Claire to witness firsthand how the business continued to thrive under Minnetonka’s ownership, while also preserving the unique charm and heritage that she had infused into it. The continuity of the business at the 1740 House symbolized the enduring impact of Claire Burke’s contributions, even as it entered a new chapter under different stewardship.
When Minnetonka acquired the Claire Burke company, there was understandable concern among customers and employees alike about potential changes that might be imposed by the much larger corporation. However, Mary Kay Young of Minnetonka quickly reassured everyone that the core values and practices that had made Claire Burke a beloved brand would remain intact. "I think a lot of people were worried that there would be big changes made at Claire Burke when it was purchased because Minnetonka is a much bigger company," Young acknowledged. "But we would not do anything to change the kind of handcraftsmanship here. That's one of the things that has made this business a success."
Young emphasized the importance of maintaining the meticulous, artisanal approach to production that had always been a hallmark of Claire Burke products. This dedication to quality was a key reason for the brand's continued success, and Minnetonka was committed to preserving that tradition.
Another aspect of Claire Burke's legacy that Minnetonka vowed to protect was the secrecy of the potpourri formula. "We have to keep the mixture a secret," said Young, noting the increasing interest in potpourri and the growing number of competitors in the market. "There has been so much publicity on potpourri and how to do potpourri recently that we do this to protect ourselves." The unique blend of ingredients, carefully refined by Claire Burke herself, remained the foundation of the product’s appeal. Young highlighted that it was these "special things, some little things that you don't get in other potpourris," that set Claire Burke apart from other brands. By continuing to use the original formula, Minnetonka ensured that the essence of what made Claire Burke’s potpourri so distinctive and cherished would endure.
Mary Kay Young provided an intimate glimpse into the operations at Claire Burke, highlighting the personal and artisanal approach that set the company apart from larger, more industrialized competitors. Unlike typical manufacturing processes, there was no assembly line at Claire Burke. Instead, the production took place in what was referred to as the "work room," where five or six women would gather around a long table, each with large bowls of potpourri in front of them. These skilled artisans carefully filled glass jars, wicker baskets, and calico bags with the fragrant mixture, a process that required both precision and a delicate touch. The finishing touches were just as thoughtfully executed—velvet bows were tied around the jars, and dried flowers were artfully twisted onto the tops of baskets, adding an extra layer of handcrafted charm to each product.
The work at Claire Burke was not just a job for these women; it was a craft honed over time. Young noted with admiration the longevity of service among the employees, a testament to their dedication and the company’s supportive environment. "One thing that amazes me is the average length of service of the people who work here," Young said. "Some of them have been here since the company first began." This continuity in the workforce ensured that the traditions and techniques that had been established by Claire Burke herself were preserved and passed down.
Young also mentioned key staff members like Mary Smith, who handled accounting and financial matters, and Temple Doinel, who processed orders and controlled inventory. These individuals were not just employees; they were integral to the smooth operation of the business. Their deep knowledge of the company and its processes was so extensive that, as Young put it, "they could practically run the show themselves." This blend of experience, commitment, and a personal touch was what allowed Claire Burke to maintain its unique identity and reputation for quality, even as the company grew under new ownership.
Mary Kay Young emphasized the deeply personal and handcrafted nature of the Claire Burke production process, a legacy established by Claire Burke herself. "You can see that almost all of this is a hand operation from start to finish," Young remarked, highlighting the meticulous attention to detail that defined the company’s operations. This hands-on approach was integral to the brand's identity, reflecting the same commitment to craftsmanship that had earned Claire Burke numerous awards for her packaging designs. In fact, Claire had been known for designing her own packaging and even cutting out the boxes by hand to precisely convey her vision to manufacturers, ensuring that each detail met her high standards.
The potpourri itself was blended by hand in a modest "shack" located behind the 1740 House. This small, unassuming space was where two men carefully mixed the fragrant ingredients, maintaining the artisanal quality that set Claire Burke’s products apart from mass-produced alternatives. The process was a far cry from industrial automation, underscoring the company's dedication to preserving the handcrafted essence of its potpourri.
By 1976, the demand for Claire Burke products had surged significantly. "We expect our sales to be even higher this year," Young stated, reflecting the company’s optimistic outlook. The anticipated increase in sales meant a corresponding rise in production needs. The company projected that they would require 15,000 pounds of potpourri for the remainder of the year. This substantial amount included 15,000 pounds of dried flowers, spices, and rose petals—each ingredient carefully selected and blended by hand to maintain the distinctive quality and appeal of Claire Burke’s potpourri.
In a significant shift for the Claire Burke brand, Minnetonka eventually sold the Claire Burke division to Tsumura International Inc., a Japanese company with its U.S. headquarters located in Secaucus, New Jersey. This transition marked a new chapter for the company, as it came under the management of a global enterprise known for its expertise in the fragrance and personal care industry.
By the 1990s, Claire Burke potpourri had achieved widespread recognition and distribution, appearing in major department stores such as Macy's, Bloomingdale's, J.C. Penney, Leggett's, and Peebles. This expansion into prominent retail locations reflected the brand's growing popularity and its ability to reach a broad audience of consumers.
Claire Burke, the visionary behind the brand, passed away in 1993 at the age of 85. Her death marked the end of an era for the company she had built with such dedication and passion. Despite the changes in ownership and the expansion of the brand, Claire Burke's legacy lived on through the products that continued to embody the craftsmanship and care she had instilled in them from the very beginning.
In 1998, Belae Brands of Phoenix, AZ, bought the assets of Tsumura. Belae Brands then marketed the Claire Burke line.
