Spring Diffuser Blends: Fill Your Home With Refreshing Aromas

Using spring essential oil blends in your favorite diffuser is a great way to fill your home with the refreshing, invigorating, and cheerful scents of the season.

Most spring diffuser blends are created using a combination of essential oils from the floral aroma family and the citrus aroma family. You can create a variety of blends using different essential oil combinations from these two aroma families.

Essential oil blends using only floral aromas are relaxing and peaceful. These blends are evocative of fresh flowers in bloom, which is characteristic of the season.

Blends that use only citrusy aromas are cheerful and refreshing. It’s like bringing the sunshine indoors.

A diffuser blend that combines both floral and citrus aromas is an absolute delight to the senses. It’s like taking a stroll in your flower garden in the bright sunshine on a clear day. There’s no better way to celebrate spring!

Best Essential Oils for Creating Spring Diffuser Blends

For the reasons mentioned above, the best essential oils for spring belong to the citrus and floral families.

But, you don’t have to restrict yourself to just these two essential oil aroma families. A drop of essential oil from the herbaceous or woody families can add a unique note to any spring diffuser blend.

Be careful not to add too much of these oils though. They tend to have strong aromas and will overpower the other lighter scents.

If you like experimenting to create unique spring diffuser blends, try combining the essential oils listed below in varying proportions. You will end up with an endless array of unique aromas. As you diffuse your customized blends, you’ll discover one that you absolutely love and want to use again and again.

Floral aromas: Lavender, Geranium, Ylang Ylang, Jasmine
Citrus aromas: Orange, Bergamot, Lemon, Lime, Grapefruit
Herbaceous aromas: Peppermint, Basil, Rosemary, Marjoram
Woody aromas: Cedarwood, Sandalwood

Remember to write down the combinations you’ve used in each blend so that you can recreate your favorite spring diffuser blends several times over.

Where to Buy Essential Oils to Make Your Own Spring Diffuser Blends

If you are planning on making just one or two of these spring diffuser blends, it’s okay to buy individual oils. However, if you would like to make a variety of diffuser blends, I highly recommend buying a set of essential oils instead of buying individual oils.

I use this Top 14 Singles Set from Plant Therapy to create my blends and for other uses as well. It is competitively priced and offers a nice variety of 14 of the more commonly used essential oils. If you use essential oils regularly, you’ll save a lot when you buy this set compared to buying 14 individual essential oil bottles.
