It is officially fall...
My décor is out, and things are starting to feel cozy in our home. A big part of bringing those warm fall feelings into your home, are the aromas that greet you at the door and linger all day long! Over the years, it seems the first aroma that comes to mind when fall hits is “Pumpkin Spice”. Whether it be in your drink, lotion, or hand soap, we always want that sweet spice.
I was delighted to discover all the fall essential oils several months after I started making healthy product swaps in my home. When I can make my home smell like autumn AND keep the air in my home healthy for my family, it is a win.
The perfect Pumpkin Spice essential oil blend includes Orange, Cinnamon Bark, Clove, Nutmeg, and Ginger. You can add them to your fall mixtures and diffusers one oil at a time, OR you can choose to make a large batch of Pumpkin Spice blend using the above oils. Either way, this bundle of oils is the perfect way to create all things fall. We are talking room sprays, body mist, hand soap, cleaners, etc.
To make a 15 mL batch of your Pumpkin Spice blend, you will want to use an empty essential oil bottle or grab a 15 mL glass dropper bottle from Amazon.
Add the following amounts to the bottle:
100 drops of Orange
100 drops of Cinnamon Bark ( about 1 5mL bottle)
30 drops of Clove
30 drops of Nutmeg
30 drops of Ginger
This Pumpkin Spice blend will be what you add to your diffuser, sugar scrubs, room sprays, cleaners, etc.
Below, you can find my new fall hand soap recipe using this blend!

Enjoying your these simple recipes! Would love to here how you are enjoying them.
Fall is almost here and our diffusers are about be worked overtime! Lucky for you, all those favorite fall oils, are amazing for immune support and keeping the air in your home fresh! That isn't something you can say for the fall candles that people gravitate to.
Why diffusing is better than candles:
- Variety! I love being able to change the aroma going through our home. When I used to purchase candles, I was stuck with the same fragrance day after day.
- A clean, toxin-free aroma for the home. The mist benefits your family! Fragrance from candles, negatively impacts your immune system.
- Control! You can decide how strong or how mild you want to aroma going through your home.
- Customize! You can still have a fall aroma but oils allow you to create aromas that uplift, assist in relaxation, or simply help with fresh air throughout your house.
How to create some amazing blends:
- Consider what kind of aromas you prefer in the fall. We are not all pumpkin spice lovers ( I can hear some of you gasping right now :) )
- Pick 1-2 blends to keep in rotation. You will also want 3-4 singles to pair with your blends.
- Keep in mind the reasons you typically diffuse. Do you need calm oils? uplifting? focus?
- Start with 2-3 drops of your blend and layer with your singles. Start with a total of 8-10 drops. If you are sensitive to smells, start lower. Fall blends can be quite strong. Start on the lower end of drops and you can always add more.
