What Are The Scents Associated With Harry Potter?
With so many Harry Potter characters, rooms in Hogwarts, and iconic places, such as The Three Broomsticks, it’s easy to get lost in the scents associated with Harry Potter.
So, I pulled my best Heromine study session and discovered the scents that stood out. Then I used an essential oil blending wheel that helps us understand the relationships between different aromas and how our brain processes them, to categorize scents for each Hogwarts House. And build each blend I share in the printables below.
Gryffindor:
- Cypress
- Orange
- Cinnamon
- Grapefruit

Fun Ways To Diffuse Harry Potter Essential Oil Blends
If you’re a first-year when it comes to diffusing essential oils, don’t sweat it. All you need is one of these diffuser methods to infuse your study space, kitchen, hut, manor, or favorite place to binge-watch Harry Potter movies!
Ultrasonic Diffuser
We’ll start with the most popular device to diffuse essential oils. An ultrasonic diffuser uses water and ultrasonic vibrations to disperse essential oils into the air as a fine mist. Sounds like a magic trick from the Weasely Twins, right?
Travel Diffuser
Now, if you’re departing Platform 9 ¾ on the Hogwarts Express, you’ll need a diffuser that’s designed for travel! So, why not make your own travel diffuser with these quick tips?
Diffuser Stones
I’m certain Hufflepuffs can’t resist the chance to mold terracotta clay into diffusers. These porous stones absorb essential oils and release their fragrance slowly over time. Check out this tutorial for handmade diffuser stones.
Reed Diffuser
Another trick is to create a reed diffuser! Fill a small bottle or vase with an essential oil Harry Potter blend and a carrier oil. Then place reed sticks into the mixture. The reeds will absorb the oil and release the scent into the room gradually. Check out this DIY reed diffuser tutorial to give it a try!
Tea Light Diffuser
If your favorite Defensive of the Dark Arts spell is Incendio, the Fire-Making Spell: A charm that conjures a jet of flames but can also be used to light candles and torches – then you’ll like this option. An essential oil tea light diffuser uses the gentle flame of a tea light to warm an essential oil blend and disperse its aroma. Here’s how I make tea lights for warmers.
