The calendar is pointing to spring, and if you’ve had a long, cold winter, you’re ready to welcome spring and all its beauty. Spring showers followed by sunshine and flowers make every day feel anew. 

And what better way to usher in spring than by refreshing your home with beautiful spring candle scents that encapsulate the essence of new beginnings? Because the right scents can help create a fresh and uplifting atmosphere that matches the season’s mood. 

What are the scents of spring?

The ideal spring scent can mean something different to each of us. Some may be drawn to floral, blooming scents, while others may reach for cool, minty candle scents or green, earthy aromas. 

All of which can help us harness the spirit of spring cleaning and nourish our homes with mood-lifting spring essential oil blends. Choose from an array of spring candle scent recipes to create a fresh ambiance with the aroma of blooming flowers, spring picnics, and fresh-cut grass.

How Much Essential Oil Do You Need?

If you’re making spring-scented candles with essential oil, you’ll need a lot more essential oil than diffuser recipes require. However, unlike a diffuser blend recipe that typically has a one-time use, a candle scent blend can be enjoyed for months to come. 

You want to aim for a 6 percent fragrance load for scented candles, which equates to 1 ounce of essential oil per pound of candle wax. I’ve broken this down into printable charts in the Oily Chic Library, but I’ll share it here, too. 

To make a standard 8-ounce candle with essential oil, you’ll need:

• A total of ½ an ounce of essential oils
• ½ oz of essential oil is equal to 1 tablespoon
• 1 tablespoon is equal to 3 teaspoons of essential oil
• 3 teaspoons of essential oil are equal to 300 drops
• There are 300 drops of essential oil in a 15 ml bottle

Therefore, I find it’s easier to create essential oil candle scent recipes when you break the tablespoon into 3 teaspoons like this:

1. First Scent: 1 teaspoon = 100 drops of essential = 5 ml bottle
2. 2nd Scent: 1 teaspoon = 100 drops of essential = 5 ml bottle
3. Third Scent: 1 teaspoon = 100 drops of essential = 5 ml bottle

And if you want an essential oil to shine through in your candle, use 2 teaspoons instead of one and add less of the others. Or, if you want to include more than three essential oils, split the third scent into two scents, using ½ teaspoon each. 

As you can see, there are many ways you can go about it! To make it easy, I’ve created a list of done-for-you spring candle scent recipes to help you mix scents into incredible scented candles.
