Christmas scents are great for cozying up indoors on a warm winter day. For Christmas diffuser blends, I like to have minty, woodsy, spicy, and sweet scents, as well as citrus and everything else in between!
Christmas oil is essential
Candles often rely on a person’s scent to recreate the smell of the outside, but besides having potentially toxic ingredients, most of the time, they don’t smell like the real thing. This is where essential oils come in – not only are they completely natural, but they also smell like the real thing because they is the real thing!
Like the fragrance of fall, this time of year is perfect for experimenting with different combinations and aromas. Aromas of cranberry, orange, mint, pine, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg combine to create a scent that is unique this time of year. In addition, you are always looking A good combination can help fight germs.
While you are free to choose any oil you like, some of my favorites are:
Balsam wood
Nothing beats Christmas like the smell of balsam fir. But apart from the sweet, aromatic taste, it is often used to promote respiratory health and relieve tiredness and aches.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon essential oil blends well with other spices such as nutmeg, ginger and clove to make the best winter scent.
Bergamot
Bergamot is a warm and fragrant substance that also has antibacterial and antiviral effects.
Cedar Tree
Like bergamot, cedarwood is another aromatic plant that has medicinal properties. I like to pair it with something light and fresh like Orange Orange or Lemonbalm to give it that much needed balance.
Peppermint
Light and crisp, peppermint is synonymous with holiday. When diffused in the air, it has antibacterial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. It also calms the digestive tract and improves the mood.
Incense smells sweet
Last but not least, frankincense reduces feelings of anxiety and stimulates the immune system (which can help this time of year).
Cover the room with this trio spray and give it as a gift to your loved ones or keep them at home and spray it whenever you want a quick get me break.
