Winter Essential Oil Diffuser Blends with Recipes

Winter is such a fun time of year; you get to celebrate holidays, bring trees inside and decorate them, send holiday cards, and more.

One thing I love is creating winter essential oil blends to diffuse that remind me of the season. I love to have crisp scents that warm me up on a chilly day, and these winter essential oil diffuser blends below will do just that. There are a few Christmas blend recipes in this post – but if that’s what you are looking for, we created a whole separate post just for Christmas Blends for the Diffuser too!

How to Know If the Essential Oils Will Blend Well 

I often get asked how do I know if scents will go well together. This is the way I test out blends before adding the essential oils into my diffuser. I simply pick out the oils I am debating on, open them up and then hold them in my hand and smell. You will get a mix of their scents, and you can see how you like it. Or add a drop of each in your hands or on a paper towel and then sniff.

You can create any scent you want by mixing as many oils as you choose. Get creative and try blends and see how it goes. There is no wrong blend to use; it is all about the scents you enjoy when they combine.
