Can I use liquid potpourri instead of essential oil as scent when I make my homemade liquid laundry detergent?

I would have to agree, I would think you make your own laundry soap so you wouldn't get all the chemicals, and most potpourri liquid or not has a lot of chemicals in it. That's why I make my own potpourri too.

I'm with thriftmeg. Essential oils are in no way interchangable with liquid potpourri. I know EO's are expensive but the skin reaction you might get from the LP would out weigh the cost of the EO's; not to mention putting God know what kind of chemicals on your clothes which are in direct contact with your skin!!

Consider this: who says that laundry detergent has to be scented?? Most is washed away and goes down the drain anyways. If you want a scent on your clothing(again an optional thing, JMHO) you can but a drop of two of EO, or vanilla on a small piece of towel in the dryer. Very little waste and you can experiment with different scents in each load rather than having to use up an entire bottle of detergent before you can try another scent.

Just my 2 "scents" worth, LOL

I would be very reluctant to do this! Liquid potpourri is much different from essential oils. Some of its ingredients may be flammable or a skin irritant when used in laundry. If you are reluctant to spend the prices that are usually charged for essential oils, try a few drops of vanilla, something most kitchen have.
