Essential Oil Scents for the Fall

If you are a big fan of essential oils, fall is a great time to incorporate them more into 
your life. The following information not only provides individual oil scents that are perfect 
for this season, but some ideas for blending them together into unique scents that are 
perfect for this cozy time of year.

Individual Fall Scents

The first thing you should do if you want to start using fall scents is to figure out which 
essential oils are going to achieve this. You have two main options: go with individual 
scents or choose a blend. Manny of the popular essential oil companies mix blends for 
you, where they will smell like a forest, fall air, cinnamon, or pumpkin spice. However, if 
you don’t want to go this direction, you can instead use those individual scents. Here 
are some that are perfect for fall:

Cinnamon
Lemon
Sweet orange
Fir
Eucalyptus
Clove
Vanilla
Tea Tree
Rosemary
Peppermint
Pine
Frankincense
Bergamot

Fall Essential Oil Blends

Another thing you might want to do is use a blend. You can mix up your own blend 
depending on how you want the certain essential oil product to smell, or get a pre-made 
blend. This is a great time to start experimenting with different combinations until you 
figure out what works best. When making your own blends, the stronger scents like fir 
and eucalyptus should be used less, and the milder scents like orange and vanilla can 
be used more. 

Here are some different scent combinations to achieve the essential oil blends you 
want:

Pumpkin Spice – For a pumpkin spice blend, try combing clove oil with nutmeg and 
cinnamon. This is a very basic blend of scents that tend to smell just like pumpkin spice.

Fall Air – For a blend that smells like those warm fall evening walks outdoors, try fir or 
eucalyptus with sweet orange and your choice of spices, like either nutmeg or clove.

Autumn Spice – Another spice combination is more heavily spiced with cinnamon, plus 
some sweetness added to the mix. This autumn spice can have cinnamon oil, along 
with clove, vanilla, and sweet orange or lemon.

Play around with the different essential oils until you come up with blends you love for 
the fall season. Use them with all your DIY products or just add the blend to a diffuser 
so that it smells just like fall in your home every day.
