Ah, autumn! At this time of year longing for the leaves to turn shades of gold and crimson, pumpkin spice lattes to make their triumphant return, and indeed the reign of sweater weather. I love that in fall the air smells magical. In my opinion, as seasons change it would naturally just shift from light, summery-sounding fragrances to warm, and cozy-sounding fragrances that reflect the spirit of the season. In that spirit, let’s talk about how to integrate some of autumn’s scents into your everyday life through the best essential oil fragrances.
Why Transition to Autumn Fragrances?
It’s just like you swap your summer wardrobe for fuzzy sweaters and boots, your collection of scents needs to be refreshed with needs. From warm, spicy, earthy, all autumn fragrant, and it’s about capturing those scents that make fall so comforting. Essential oils are the olfactory equivalent of a cozy blanket on a chilly day, and there’s no better way to accept the fall vibes than by using essential oils.
The Best Autumn Essential Oil Fragrances
You’ve been warned: Get ready to fill your home and your senses with these fall-inspired and HBNO essential oil fragrances! They all embody the mood of the season and you will feel all the autumn nostalgia.
1. Cedarwood Essential Oil
Cedarwood is a must-have for the fall, the woody aroma it gives off makes you wonder if you’re on a forest hike, crunching through leaves, and often the stillness of nature before winter. Not only is it grounding, but it’s warm, and beautiful paired with other seasonal scents.
- How to Use: When you’re reading a book by the fire, let’s add a few drops to your diffuser or blend it with orange essential oil for a fall burst of fresh, earthy fragrance.
- Scent Story: The autumn is the first time I’ve used cedarwood oil and I was quickly transported to a remote country cabin in the woods with hot cocoa on hand and a leafy hue going at it. It’s that cozy.
2. Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil
Autumn wouldn’t be autumn without cinnamon. Freshly baked pies, apple cider on the stove, crisp fall mornings at the farmer’s market — it’s exactly like that.
- How to Use: Use a couple of drops in a pot of boiling water for a natural home fragrance or add to a DIY fall-scented body oil.
- Fun Tip: Diffuse cinnamon leaf essential oil when hosting a fall dinner to create the mood and give your gathering a little bit of seasonal flair.
3. Sweet Orange Essential Oil
Sweet orange is a citrus scent, yet does so well in autumn blends. Fall spices are a bit heavy, and their bright, uplifting aroma helps jiva them and makes you think of the freshness of fall harvests.
- How to Use: Cinnamon or clove essential oil in combination with sweet orange essential oil creates an inviting, festive blend that will improve your home on dreary autumn days.
- Memory Lane: Picking apples at a local orchard is one of my fondest autumn memories. I imagine sweet orange with cinnamon, and hayrides with caramel apples — like that day — blended.
4. Frankincense Essential Oil
If you can’t buy frankincense oil at any of your local health food stores, now is the time to stock up on frankincense stones or resin. It’s beautiful and a gentle way to reflect the changing seasons.
- How to Use: In your meditation practice, use frankincense or diffuse it before bed to unwind after a long and cool day.
- Scent Reflection: In the fall, every autumn, I light candles and do my yoga in the smell of frankincense. It makes my space look like a beautiful, comfortable, warm sanctuary.
5. Clove Essential Oil
One fall spice scent is clove oil. Evocaled wine and holiday gatherings, it’s warm, aromatic, and somehow — though I can’t explain why — stands for the coziness of homemade.
- How to Use: If you want a classic fall fragrance, diffuse clove oil with a little sweet orange, or use it in your homemade cleaning products for a twist of spice.
- Seasonal Aroma: When I think of clove oil, I think of my grandma’s kitchen on Thanksgiving when I can smell pies and spiced cider all over.
Creating Your Autumn Scent Sanctuary
Creating your signature autumn fragrance is one of the most fun parts of the fall season. With fall just around the corner, one of the easiest ways to capture the smell of fall is by blending essential oils.
DIY Autumn Blend Recipe:
- 3 drops of Cedarwood Essential Oil
- 2 drops of Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil
- 2 drops of Sweet Orange Essential Oil
- 1 drop of Clove Essential Oil
How to Use: Add this blend to your diffuser! When you’re looking for an excuse to hibernate in small squares, your home is going to smell like a fall wonderland that’s cozy and warm, the perfect home for fall movie nights.
The Benefits of Autumn Essential Oils
Autumn essential oil fragrances smell fantastic but they go beyond that and have loads of benefits. Then there are warming oils such as cinnamon and clove oil which help you feel cosy and relaxed. Since autumn is essentially the reflective season, frankincense oil will help ground and calm your mind. Promoting a sense of balance and tranquility to help you adjust to the season’s changes, Cedarwood is a great oil to have.
Personal Tip: Need a little sugar to help cut down that autumn melancholy feeling. Diffuse a happy blend of sweet orange and cinnamon. It never fails to lift my spirits.
