Cooler weather brings with it the sights and smells of autumn. An easy way to get those comforting aromas of cinnamon, apple pie, citrus and even that crisp, outdoor fall smell in your home is to diffuse them into the air with essential oils. You can use a diffuser or even a spray bottle* to get these enticing fall scents to permeate your space.
With the smell of pumpkin spice in the air, I’ve been experimenting with different essential oil blends. I love the spicy smells of cinnamon, clove and ginger. But there is just something about the smell of fruit that makes your home feel more comforting! When using essential oils, I like to combine citrus fruits with spices.
Here are ten of the top fall season essential oil blends for your diffuser. Follow the directions that came with your diffuser on how to add essential oils to it, since each diffuser is different.

When you use fall essential oils in your home, it will help your guest feel right at home as soon as they walk in the door. What is your favorite fall scent? Do you use essential oils?
*Note: If you choose to use the spray bottle method, add the essential oils and then add distilled water. You will need to adjust the ratios of the recipe according to how much distilled water you add. For a more intense aroma, add less water.
