The leaves are falling, the days are shortening, and you begin to smell the damp crispness of the earth after the rain… Fall is here.
It's one of my favorite times of the year, cooler, and prettier than summer, with the promise of a slower winter pace and Christmas right around the corner.
Here in Campeche, we don't get to enjoy the same Fall scents as they do in the Mountains where I grew up, but we make up for it by using our essential oil home diffuser. We've begun experimenting already to share some of our favorites with you.
Here are our 7 Favorite Essential Oil Diffuser Blends for Fall
Note: these blends use only the oils whose primary usage is designated aromatic/topical. I have tried to describe the scent the first time each oil is mentioned to give you an idea of how they smell.

Why Oils Instead of Candles or Air Fresheners?
- They are safer. (I have 5 children remember… We keep matches well hidden for a very good reason).
- Oils purify the air without harmful chemicals. I don't have to worry about what we are breathing. The oils actually help to purify the air and promote wellness, whereas with candles I always wondered if the good smell was healthy.
- A larger variety. With a candle I am stuck with one scent until it's gone, several hours worth of burning it. A home diffuser is different, we can mix and match the oils to create blends such as the ones given above. Once the diffuser empties (about 2 hours) we can switch to a different scent.
- They promote healthy sleep. I have found that the few hours I sleep have become more restful when we diffuse essential oils.
