CHOOSING THE BEST ESSENTIAL OILS FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON

 

While it is true that essential oils can be diffused year-round, pairing specific scents together can evoke a festive and cheery atmosphere, making the holiday season feel even more special. The scent profiles that are the most reminiscent of the holidays include woody scents such as Pine, Cedarwood, Spruce, and Fir. Spice Oils such as Cinnamon, Clove, and Nutmeg are appropriate for the holiday season as these aromas are associated with baking gingerbread men, snickerdoodle cookies, and other classic treats. Citrus fruits are known to be in season during the winter months and are also associated with holiday baking. Sweet Orange and Lemon Oils add a bright balance to a festive diffuser blend. The cool and frosty scents associated with winter can be achieved with fresh oils, namely Peppermint and Eucalyptus.

The Essential Oils that are the most festive to diffuse during the Holiday Season include:

HOW TO GIVE HOLIDAY DIFFUSER BLENDS AS GIFTS

 

Diffuser blends make excellent aromatic gifts to give as a stocking stuffer, especially to loved ones who use essential oils throughout their home. Choose your favourite diffuser blend and place it into an empty essential oil dropper bottle, preferably one made of dark amber glass. You can add double the amount of any diffuser blend into the dropper bottle, ensuring the recipient has enough for multiple uses. Finish with a customized ingredient tag to stick onto the bottle or print one off and tie it around the top with a thin ribbon. You can curl the ends of the ribbon using the inner edges of a scissor.
