A dozen fabulous fall diffuser blends to make your home smell amazing with essential oil fall scents. And you’ll find it all on printable essential oil blend charts.

For some, it’s hard to let go of summer swims at dusk, melting ice cream cones, and impromptu road trips. As for me, I’m like a dog hearing the word ball. Did someone say, “Fall? FALL?” “When?, Where?”, “HOW?” – “I NEED IT NOW!” 

Pumpkin Spice, Sweater Weather, and Apple Cider, Oh My!

What Essential Oils Smell Like Fall?

If you’re a fan of autumn as much as I am, you’ll love this list of essential oils that smell like fall. Each is just right to warm up your home during the cool days of the season. 

Can you mix any essential oils?

Maybe what should be asked is, “What essential oils smell good together?”. That is most easily answered by using an essential oil blending wheel. Like a color wheel, it helps us understand the relationships between different aromas and how our brain processes them. 

To create appealing essential oil blends, choose oils that sit next to each other on the blending wheel. You can use this list of fall essential oils with the blend wheeling to create countless combinations. 

OR BETTER YET, begin with our list of essential oil fall diffuser blends inspired by the changing leaf colors, fall traditions, and favorite autumn treats.

Diffusing Fall Essential Oils Blends

If you’re new to diffusing essential oils, you’ll be happy to know it’s very simple. All you need is one of these diffuser methods to soak up all the cozy scents of fall!

Ultrasonic Diffuser

These popular devices use water and ultrasonic vibrations to disperse essential oils into the air as a fine mist. Take a look at my favorite essential oil diffusers:

Reed Diffuser

Create a reed diffuser by combining essential oils with a carrier oil, such as sweet almond oil, and placing reed sticks into the mixture. The reeds will absorb the oil and release the scent into the room gradually. Try this DIY fall reed diffuser tutorial to add a splash of fall decor to your space.

Terracotta Diffuser Stones

Craft your own diffuser stones using terracotta clay. These porous stones absorb essential oils and release their fragrance slowly over time. Check out this tutorial for handmade terracotta diffuser stones to infuse your environment with natural scents.

Essential Oil Tea Light Diffuser

These diffusers often come in decorative designs and use a heat source, such as a tea light candle (I make my own), to gently warm the essential oils and disperse their aroma throughout the room.

What Can I Diffuse For Fall?

Fall isn’t quite here yet for us, but it’s on its way along with trick-or-treaters, back-to-school pals, and holiday guests. Pin or print these essential fall diffuser blend charts to help each feel welcome when you open the door.
