The Best Fall Diffuser Blends

Make your home smell like fall with these 8 cozy and warm essential oil fall diffuser blends! Enjoy all of your favorite scents without the toxins from scented candles.

Why use essential oils?

Essential oils are clean, natural and non-toxic pure oils that are extracted from plants in nature at the prime time for harvest making them highly concentrated compared to the plant they come from and have many health and wellness benefits. A little goes a LONG way and can be used aromatically, topically or in household items.

You can read all about why I switched from burning scented candles to diffusing essential oils here. The results for me, personally, after not burning artificially fragranced candles and using essential oil blends instead has been incredible. I very rarely get headaches, and am actually very sensitive to fragrances when I am around them, getting a headache almost immediately. Diffusing essential oils helps with improved breathing, mood and general wellness.

How do you make fall scents with essential oils?

To make fall scents with essential oils, gather essential oils that are commonly used in fall baking, such as cinnamon, clove and nutmeg, to combine for warm and cozy scents. For more fresh autumn air smells, gather essential oils such as black spruce and cardamom. Add in some citrus essential oils, like orange and tangerine, and you are set for some amazingly delicious essential oil fall diffuser blends!
