'Tis the season for festive scents - and we wouldn't have it any other way.

From Christmas trees to candy canes, the sheer variety of comforting and cheerful aromas is enough to make you feel merry all year long. 

To add to the festive spirit, there's nothing better to engage in during the Christmas period than a warm and inviting recipe - and these rules don't just extend to food! 

This season, why not have a go at making your own Christmas essential oil blend recipes using some of your favourite scents? 

Not only will they leave your home smelling joyful, they'll also pack a punch for your health and wellbeing as the colder weather emerges.

If you don't feel like getting creative all on your own, we've made a list of some of our go-to Christmas scented oils for diffusers, and the blends we think they'll work best in.

Directions

Please note that this is only a rough guide on how to make essential oil blends.

You can find out more information about how to blend by notes, purposes and scents by following our Essential Oils Blending Guide

  • Select a blend from below and add the suggested number of drops to your diffuser one at a time - we've only featured 5 drops per blend so, if you don't like a scent, you haven't wasted too many of your oils making it.
  • Once you've confirmed you enjoy the blend, feel free to add more to your diffuser, or adjust any quantities as needed.
  • Be sure to always refer to your diffuser's instructions while doing this, so you don't accidentally add more drops than it supports.
  • Alternatively, you can add your blend to an amber glass bottle and save for future use.

 Precautions

  • Avoid diffusing your blend for longer than 1 hour at a time - too much diffusion could cause an increased sensitivity to the oil, not to mention a wastage of product!
  • Do not apply undiluted to the skin. Always use a carrier oil like  or if you prefer topical application.
