From essential oil blends that smell like a Christmas tree and blends that smell like peppermint candy and blends that infuse the home with more traditional Christmas scents, there are several Holiday aromas you can create using a combination of essential oils.
One such popular smell during this time of year is the smell of freshly baked gingerbread cookies. You can create a variety of gingerbread essential oil blends with just a few simple variations of the oils used.
Each of these gingerbread essential oil blend variations is sure to evoke wonderful memories of home baking during the holidays.
Gingerbread Cookies Essential Oil Blend
This gingerbread essential oil blend is simple to make and uses only 3 oils.
3 drops Ginger Essential Oil
2 drops Clove Essential Oil
1 drops Cassia Essential Oil
Clove essential oil gives the blend that spicy aroma that is similar to the aroma of traditional treats that we bake during the holiday season.
For gingerbread, you naturally want to add in some ginger oil as well.
The cassia oil provides a nice subtle spice that really brings out that freshly-baked gingerbread scent. This is an optional scent though so do experiment with and without adding cassia oil.
Gingerbread House Essential Oil Blend
Not surprisingly, the gingerbread House essential oil blend is a little more complex as expected. It is made up of a complex combination of fruity and spicy aromas including clove, orange, nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon bark oils.
2 drops Cinnamon Essential Oil
2 drops Ginger Essential Oil
2 drops Orange Essential Oil
1 drop Clove Essential Oil
1 drops Nutmeg Essential Oil
This mix of five popular seasonal scents gives off an aroma that smells just like a freshly-baked gingerbread house.
Cinnamon bark and nutmeg are two popular spices that are used in gingerbread and the oils are a perfect addition to create this gingerbread essential oil blend.
Clove oil adds a hint of spice to the blend, and orange oil gives it that fresh smell perfect, which for the holiday season.
You will likely see different variations of this recipe, just as you would get different recipes for creating a real gingerbread house. This is the really fun part as it means you can have fun experimenting with different combinations.
Add a little more or a little less each oil to create your own customized gingerbread house essential oil blend. Don’t stray too far from these five oils though as that would change the scent completely.
Be particularly careful when increasing the quantity of close essential oil. Clove oil has a strong aroma that can overpower the other scents if you add too much of it.
Traditional Gingerbread Essential Oil Blend
This recipe is for you if you are looking for a simpler recipe for a Gingerbread Essential Oil Blend. This has a more subtle aroma too.
The Traditional Gingerbread Essential Oil Blend uses only two oils – ginger and cinnamon.
2 drops Ginger Essential Oil
2 drops Cinnamon Essential Oil
Add both oils to your diffuser.
The ginger oil gives the blend that distinctive gingerbread cookie scent and the cinnamon oil gives it that sweet ‘cookie’ touch. Both of these oils complement each other beautifully to create an aroma that is both sweet and spicy.
This blend has a nice light aroma that smells like you have been busy baking Christmas cookies.
Quick & Easy Gingerbread Essential Oil Blend
If you don’t want to make this blend from scratch, you don’t have to. You can just add a drop or two of Cinnamon Oil or Cardamom Oil to any holiday blend to create a quick and easy gingerbread essential oil blend.
These spices are subtle and simply bring out the seasonal scents already used in a standard Christmas essential oil blend.
It is easy to add a few drops of cardamom to a current holiday blend, whether it uses ginger and clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, or a little sweet orange. This allows you to customize current blends to make them your own.
