10 Best Fall Essential Oil Diffuser Blends

500 shares
  • 8

I love using fall essential oil diffuser blends to give our home a warm and cozy scent! I also love that essential oils are much more natural than artificial fragrances.

One of the quickest ways to bring a cozy atmosphere into your home is to make sure it smells nice! I love lighting scented candles all year (especially my homemade soy candles).

Even though I love candles, I also love using my essential oil diffuser.

Using Essential Oils in a Wax Warmer

We love using our essential oil diffuser (find one here), but recently I decided to try these blends in a wax warmer (I got this one for my birthday). And it works!

All you need to do is fill the top part with a bit of water, add your essential oils, and turn it on.

You do need to make sure that all the water doesn’t evaporate, but I just checked it whenever I walked by, so that part wasn’t complicated.

I did notice that the scent wasn’t as strong as using the usual scented wax. It seems to work best in a smaller room (like a bathroom).

But if you’re concerned about inhaling chemical scents, this might be something worth trying. The scent of these blends is stronger when using a diffuser. But the wax warmer is cozy and fun to use also (in a small area)!

    Thank you so much for these recipes!
    Right now I am diffusing a blend that Rocky Mtn Oils suggested, called Self Love. It’s quite energizing.

    I will try some of your suggested blends. I have to say that I’ve never considered Black Pepper to be a Fall aroma. But I could have my mind changed…

    Blessings!

    Ooohhh I really like the list you gave with all the blends. I have a diffuser, but I haven’t ever mixed things much. I have a lot of these fall scents, but am missing a few, I will have to see which ones I can do with what I have – thank you I am pinning for future reference. 🙂 I am your neighbor today at #LiveLifeWell

      These blends are really versatile, so often you can skip one (if you don’t have it on hand) and it will still smell great!

    I like having the oils listed out this way – by season and smell. I have a very small oil collection that we use mostly when someone is congested or coughing. I haven’t gotten into using them to get the house smelling good yet. It’s something that’s on my list. Lol. Thank you for sharing with us at #LiveLifeWell.
