Fall Essential Oils

One of the best parts of the autumn season is the many smells that come up at this time of year. As the weather cools down, many people find themselves baking more which leads to houses filled with delicious fragrances. There's also a lot happening outside with the changes in nature, and many amazing seasonal scents fill the air.

I'm a huge fan of scent, so today I thought it would be fun to explore some of the essential oils that can bring warm, joyful energy to your home all season long. Essential oils are great to work with because they are all natural, contain no harsh chemicals, and can even have health benefits!

Adding essential oils to a diffuser or dish with water can help fill your home with amazing fragrances that are perfect for the season... and there are many great diffusers to choose from now days that make it easy to work with all types of oils and oil blends.

While essential oils are natural, keep in mind that some of them can be quite strong. Use sparingly until you know their strength, and always dilute properly before using them on your body.

Sweet Orange

This is a classic fall scent! It blends the sweet, tangy fragrance of orange with that rich scent of the fall season. Orange works well on its own or combined with spicy scents like anise or cinnamon.

Sage

Sage is a clean, cooling, and uplifting scent that brings a light spicy note to the season. It works well on its own or added to floral blends as a balancer.

Clove

This is the best of the best for the holiday season! Clove brings fresh baked goods and warm nights by the fire to mind, and it's also very cleansing for the home and air!

Cinnamon

Cinnamon essential oil is a sweet and spicy balance that brings joy and comfort to the home. It blends well with many other spices, and it helps us feel warm and comfy when we smell it.

Juniper Berry

As we get closer to the wintertime, adding juniper berry to your favorite essential oil aromatherapy blend is a great way to herald the season. It's a combination of sweet and evergreen, and it instantly recalls fresh cut pine trees.
