Essential Oil Blends for Autumn Vibes

As an ardent autumn lover I can tell you about a thousand reasons why autumn is the best season. Autumn feels like a season where a lazy haze has settled over everything. The hustle and bustle of everyday life finally slows down and the weather also cools down to a comfortable degree. There is a gentle woody aroma that has seeped into the air where it now hangs with a silent anticipation. It is also the season where people celebrate life with festivals like Thanksgiving, Diwali, Chuseok and more. The beauty and majesticness of the fall season cannot be described through words alone.

Which is why we have prepared a list of autumn essential oil blends that encapsulate and appreciate the true essence of fall.

What to Know About Making Your Own Essential Oil Blends

Here are the things you should know before you start making your own essential oil blends for fall;

1. Fall scents typically lean towards fruity scents with a woody or spicy undertone. So, it would bode well to start with rosewood essential oil or cedarwood essential oil for the base note. Then move to anise essential oil or nutmeg essential oil for that hint of spiciness for the middle note.  Top it up with tangerine essential oil or grapefruit essential oil to bring out the subtle sweetness of the blend..

2. If you’re thinking of using these essential oil blends for soap making, my advice is, use the cold process of soap making. This way you can not only add a combination of scents, but you can also give the soaps a beautiful color and a variety of shapes easily. Visit our guide on how to use cold process soap essential oils to make soaps with a lasting scent.

3. Once you use these essential oils fall scents, they will literally fill your house with a delectable and nostalgic aroma. But, please remember to spray and diffuse these blends in well ventilated rooms only.  

4. Ever wanted to smell like a freshly baked cinnamon roll or even like pumpkin spice without costing a pretty penny? Just properly dilute our suggested blend with coconut oil or jojoba oil and massage it on your skin.
