For anyone who has packed for a trip (and especially if you have packed for a trip and also had to decide what fragrances to bring with you), there is certainly some excitement and some challenges in all the decisions. If you’re anything like me, you’ve dreaded carrying all the extra space needed to deliver full-sized bottles of which smell good—travel perfume! Luckily, with the world of essential oil fragrances, you can have your scent and travel planes too.
Why Essential Oils Are Perfect for Travelers.
Lightweight, potent, and versatile, essential oils make great travel buddies. A little bit can add enthusiasm to your surroundings, refresh you, or help you ease your way into a peaceful hotel room. They are also spill-proof, and extra compact yet easy to pack when stored in roll-ons or small glass vials.
I can’t even begin to tell you how many times an essential oil fragrance has saved my neck while I travel. For instance, I recently came back from a flight where I felt so much airplane air needed refreshing. I pulled out my trusty HBNO Orange Essential Oil in a small roll-on, dabbed it on my wrists and I felt an immediate uptick. It was a burst of sunshine in an otherwise dreary cabin!
Travel-Friendly Perfumes: My Must-Have Picks
We dive into some compact and travel-friendly choices that will make you smell incredible wherever you go. Whether it’s a mom’s trip to the beach resort, a business trip to a bustling city, or a couple’s trip to a serene mountain retreat, I have curated a list of the best essential oil fragrances from HBNO that are perfect for travelers.
1. Lime Essential Oil
- Why It Works for Travel: The brilliant and citrusy scent of lime essential oil is the ultimate mood booster. It’s great if you’re looking for an excuse to take a break from bed and step into the next adventure.
- How to Use It: Dilute a few drops of HBNO Lime Essential Oil with water and create a refreshing spray in a mini spray bottle. Spritz into your hotel room for an energizing and refreshing air.
- Personal Experience: One thing I carry with me when on a sojourn at any beach destination is lime essential oil. I was lounging by the water one time when I had a real need for a pick-me-up. I spritzed a few quick lime essences and I was ready to tackle the rest of the day.
2. Lavender Essential Oil
- Why It Works for Travel: Travel is stressful, but lavender is here to calm you down. Lavender is ideal for those struggling to sleep in a new place, or when you’re just battling out the jet lag.
- How to Use It: Use a drop of HBNO Lavender Essential Oil on your pillow or use it in a portable diffuser to make the environment calm. I can assure you it does work on long-haul flights or restless nights.
- Pro Tip: Lavender can also help to mask any odd hotel room odors if you’re staying somewhere unfamiliar. Dab it just a little on a cotton ball and put it near your bed for dreams that smell sweet.
3. Eucalyptus Essential Oil
- Why It Works for Travel: Staying refreshed and clear-headed is a lifesaver for eucalyptus. It’s especially awesome for helping to ward off travel fatigue and ensure you’re feeling invigorated.
- How to Use It: Take a drop or two of HBNO Eucalyptus Essential Oil and rub it onto your palms, lay your hands over your nose, and take a deep breath. Even in the middle of a busy airport, it’s like doing a mini spa moment!
- Travel Hack: As a natural decongestant, eucalyptus is a must-have if you are looking to travel to high-altitude destinations or just want a good airplane dryness.
Making Your Own Travel-Friendly Perfume Blends
Why not mix your signature travel scents? It’s easy and fun, and surprisingly so, to personalize your fragrance experience.
- For a Tropical Getaway: 2 drops ylang ylang with 3 drops lime essential oil. That’s like bottling up a tropical breeze!
- For Stress Relief: To make the already calming and grounding aroma of lavender and frankincense even more so, combine 3 drops of lavender with 1 drop of frankincense.
- For Energy Boosts: To wake up your senses, try blending 2 drops of orange with 1 drop of peppermint.
- Pro Tip: In small roll-on bottles or travel-size spray containers store your custom blends. Keep them organized and stop any scent surprises by labeling each one.
Essential Oil Safety Tips for Travelers
- Dilute, Dilute, Dilute: Keep in mind, too, that essential oils are highly concentrated. Whenever you are using them, apply them always by diluting them with a carrier oil (such as coconut or jojoba oil).
- Check Airline Regulations: Just make sure your oils are TSA-approved sizes if you are flying. For carry-on bags, it’s usually 10 ml bottles.
- Stay Sun-Safe: Citrus oils like lime or orange can sometimes be too much for your skin to handle, so the sun can make it more sensitive. If you’re planning to spend the day out, avoid applying them directly onto your skin.
Packing Your Essential Oils
Organizing your travel-friendly perfumes is helpful. Keep your bottles safe and secure with padded pouches or small cases. If you’re like me and would like to have multiple scents consider investing in a travel-sized essential oil organizer.
Personal Packing Tip: I carry a small pouch in my day bag of essential oil roll-ons. Since it’s so convenient for quick scent touch-ups or to just create a calming environment when I need it the most, it’s a must on my weekend go-to list. Last week, during the long line at a busy tourist destination I pulled out my lavender roll on to instantly feel calmer.
