This year, the crisp fall air just about knocked me off my feet. I was completely blindsided by the swift temperature change here in Tennessee. The day before, the temperature was nearly 90 degrees. So, imagine my surprise when I walked outside the next day to a cool, and crisp 50 degree morning. 

This is my first southern Fall, so I am completely inexperienced here. But, I guess I was thinking the temperature change would be a bit more subtle, silly me. That just means I will be more prepared next year! Mark my words.

Now, I don’t know about you but, our Fall calendar is often chock full of activities. From apple picking, to fall festivals, pumpkin picking and more! Just because the days are getting shorter, and a bit cooler doesn’t mean we are spending any less time outdoors. 

Regardless, whether you’re engaging in quality time with family and friends, or catching up on much needed alone time, you (and you’re loved ones) can benefit from diffusing essential oils in your home. Diffuser blends have the power to refresh the air, dispel unwanted odors, and simplify your wellness goals.

Fall Essential Oils

When I think of Fall, I am reminded of the scent of the crisp, cool air with a hint of freshly fallen leaves. The taste of delicious Fall vegetables in a flavorful, hearty soup. The warmth of a bonfire, and the taste of (bourbon) apple cider.

Fall is my favorite season, simply because the days hang on to the warmth of the summer. And, the cool crisp air brings about the best sleep you’ve ever had. Not to mention, all the cute and comfy sweaters that I get to uncover from seasons past.

But, what if you had a diffuser blend that encapsulates all that Fall means for you?

The Best Essential Oils for Fall

  • Cinnamon
  • Clove
  • Cassia
  • Wild Orange
  • Cardamom
  • Frankincense
  • OnGuard
  • Ginger
  • Tangerine
  • Harvest Spice

Now, this list is just to give you an idea of some of the essential oils that work well throughout the Fall, and some even transition into the winter season. But, you don’t need them all to create your signature scent.

How to Make a Diffuser Blend

There are three ways to use essential oils, and I cover all three right here. Diffusing oils is incredibly easy and allows you to experience their benefits almost immediately. When it comes to crafting your own diffuser blend, think about what kind of atmosphere you would like to create and let your nose be your guide.

But first, let’s lay some ground rules for which oils pair well together. That way you can get started off on the right foot.

Below is a list of essential oils that blend well together:

Spicy (like Cassia, Cinnamon Bark, Clove and Ginger): blends well with wood, floral, and citrus oils
Woodland (like Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Douglas Fir, and Siberian Fir): blends well with mint, floral, herb, spicy, and citrus oils
Minty (like Peppermint, and Spearmint): blends well with wood, herb and citrus oils
Herb (like Rosemary, Basil, and Thyme): blends well with wood, and mint oils
Floral (like Lavender, Jasmine, and Ylang Ylang): blends well with wood, spicy and citrus oils
Citrus (like Lemon, Lime, Grapefruit, and Wild Orange): blends well with wood, spicy, floral and mint oils

From the changing leaves, to the crisp air, and warm sun peeking through the canopy…::deep breath::…it’s one of the elements that makes Fall my most favorite season
