How to Create Your Own Signature Seasonal Scents with Essential Oils

Preparing pretty room sprays and diffuser blends, or making up a bottle of my household cleaner with a fresh scent, is one of the ways I slow down to savor the season as well as a way to find more joy in caring for my home.

Today I’ll share some recipes and ways you can scent your home with pure essential oils (including some favorite spring and summer diffuser recipe cards!)

It’s a little thing, but scent really does uplift my spirits! And it’s more than just a ritual, using real plants oils makes an impact on how I feel. I love to make my own signature seasonal scents for my home.

How to Scent Your Home Without Toxic Perfumes and Ingredients

The oils I use are not at all like the synthetic scents or other compromised scented “oils” you might be familiar with. These smell like real plants because they are! My body craves the pure plant essences. Now that I’m so aware of what real plants smell like I can always tell when any synthetic scent is in a product. I run away from those products because I know the harm they can do.

It’s well known and scientifically documented that we have good reason to be cautious about the ingredients we bring into our home. But it is shocking to me how many products out there have harmful and hidden additives in them. It’s important to not just buy any product or “essential oil” to scent a home. Labels can even be deceiving as to what is actually in the bottle, so it can be frustrating.

Yet pure essential oils have been used for thousands of years safely and effectively. I’ve actually been to the farms where they grow these plans and have seen for myself that they are what they say they are! It was so fun to see. Real plant oils actually benefit our health and well-being, so we can use them for more than just scent. But they do make our home smell wonderful, too.

If you know my story (or read my book Dwelling) you know why I always clarify the types of scents I use in my home. I used to use all kinds of packaged products, room sprays and candles with synthetic toxic ingredients and preservatives. They were often filled with perfumes designed to make them smell like the the season. Sadly I thought by using those products I was enhancing the mood of our home, but in fact they were harming my health (and my mood!) in the process.

So this is why I only recommend pure essential oils for scenting your home!

Keep in mind you add water to these diffusers so they are very diluted, this is how you can adjust the strength of any oil.

The fun thing about these wonderful oils is you can make your own signature scents for your home or even perfumes! You can use one bottle of an oil you love, or mix them together to your liking.
