Cedarwood Essential Oil Blends For Diffuser Recipes And More
Cedarwood essential oil blends for diffuser recipes and more. Know what cedarwood essential oil blends well with using our essential oil blends charts!
It recently occurred to me that many people think of essential oils as feminine. I have never thought of it that way. Yes, we have some floral oils, but unless you’re rubbing rose oil from head to toe every day, there’s really nothing feminine about it.
We use essential oils in our home daily for things like cleaning and focus, for example. I think it is often the scent of an essential oil that causes many to think that it’s either feminine or masculine. And cedarwood essential oil gets boxed into the masculine category.
What does cedarwood smell like? Cedarwood has a calming, woodsy scent that many find quite grounding. It makes an ideal base note for essential oil blends. It’s steam distilled from the bark of Cedrus atlantica tree and maintains its outdoor aroma.
Cedarwood essential oil blends well with other oils to create a cozy, warm, inviting home or a fresh, unmistakable, earthy scent to ground and center yourself or to promote relaxation and rest.
So if you’re after an essential oil blend with soothing, relaxing vibes and enjoy the scent of nature, cedarwood is it! And I’ve got everything you need – a list of what cedarwood essential oil blends well with, ideas for cedarwood uses, printable essential oil blend charts for diffusing, and more!

A blending wheel answers the question of what essential oils smell good together. Basically, to create appealing essential oil blends, you want to choose oils that sit next to each other on the blending wheel.
