Candy Cane Essential Oil BlendDon’t you just love the heady flavor of peppermint candy cane? Who doesn’t! This delicious Holiday treat has an aroma that’s partly sweet – partly minty, partly refreshing – partly decadent, and above all, so distinctively Christmassy.

If you are looking for a way to recreate that characteristic aroma without actually filling your home with candy canes, one way to do this is with this Peppermint Candy Cane Essential Oil Blend.

Peppermint Candy Cane Essential Oil Blend Recipe

The basic peppermint candy blend recipe calls for these three essential oils:

  • 4 Drops Peppermint Essential Oil
  • 3 Drops Cinnamon Essential Oil
  • 2 Drops Sweet Orange Essential Oil

Using just this recipe, you will get an essential oil blend that smells just like a traditional candy cane with a strong peppermint flavor.

You can then tweak the basic recipe to make several different variations of the Peppermint Candy Cane Essential Oil Blend.

Using either wintergreen or spearmint essential oil instead of peppermint will give your candy cane blend a slightly subtler aroma. Both of these are minty essential oils but their scent is not as strong as that of peppermint.

Instead of cinnamon and orange oils, using 4 drops of vanilla extract will give you yet another variation of this traditional scent.

As with all blends, when experimenting with oils other than that mentioned in the basic recipe, always start slow. Add just a drop or two of any new oil you want to add and test the results. You can then add more or less of any oil depending on which scent you want to be the most prominent.

Want to fill your home with the aroma of peppermint candy cane but don’t want to make your own diffuser blend?

The mix of Peppermint, Spearmint, and Vanilla will fill your home with a sweet, minty aroma that’s deliciously refreshing. Add Candy Cane to your diffuser to bring the holidays indoors, or add it to a personal inhaler or diffuser necklace to take that wonderful holiday smell everywhere you go!  Or use it topically to benefit from a cool, invigorating sensation.

How to Use Your DIY Peppermint Candy Cane Essential Oil Blend 

You can use this seasonal blend so many different ways.

Add a few drops to your diffuser and turn it on while decorating your Christmas tree with Christmas Carols playing in the background. This is the perfect way to enjoy the sights, sounds, AND smells of the season.

If you do not have an aromatherapy diffuser, there are several other ways you can still infuse your home with the wonderful aroma of this Peppermint Candy Cane Essential Oil Blend. Use it to scent pine cones, which you can then place as is anywhere in any room. Or use the scented pine cones to create aromatic home decor in the form of wreaths and table centers.

You can also use this blend to make your own scented gifts for friends and loved ones during the holiday season. From DIY sugar scrubs and body butter to DIY Christmas-Scented Beeswax Candles, there are endless ideas for using this Peppermint Candy Cane Essential Oil Blend.
