Essential Oil Blends for Fall
I’ve always been sensitive to smells, even the smallest bad odor can ruin my day. That’s why I love to fill my home with seasonal scents! I have baking soda air fresheners in my closets, but those work better in small spaces, not larger rooms. For the rest of my house, I like to use oil burners or diffusers. Just a few drops of essential oils added to either can add a delightful scent to my home. You can also add essential oils to a small glass spray bottle with witch hazel to use as a room refresher.
Here are a few of my favorite essential oils that I like to use during the fall season:
Clove
When it comes to those traditional fall scents, clove is definitely at the top of the list. This is often in spice blends, along with orange, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
Bergamot
Bergamot is a citrus essential oil, which smells very similar to orange. It is often found in blends along with spices or woodsy scents, providing a slightly spicy citrus scent perfect for the season.
Nutmeg
Nutmeg is often found in fall seasonal blends and pumpkin spice blends. It is a spice that can be relaxing and transport you instantly into your favorite fall dream.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon might make you think of winter but it is also a great scent for fall! From pumpkin spice to cider, its strong spicy scent blends well with many other warm scents.
Orange
Orange essential oil is the perfect citrus scent to go along with all the spicy and woodsy scents you enjoy in the fall. It has a sweet undertone and a really fresh smell.
Ginger
Ginger has a warm and spicy aroma, it blends well with many of the other fall scents such as cinnamon or orange. It also can be used for many winter blends.
