By Maura in Essential Oils

As the days get shorter and the temperatures drop, it’s time to celebrate by making the house smell incredible with essential oils and these easy fall diffuser blends.

Pumpkin spice is in the air! Well, maybe not literally. But as soon as the temperature starts dropping, I start craving those fall scents.

That makes it the perfect time to pull out your diffuser and essential oils. I have several fall diffuser recipe blends to share with you. Whether you want to fill your home with the cozy smell of cinnamon and cloves or bring a touch of nature indoors, this post has a fall blend (or two) for you!

These simple diffuser blends can help promote relaxation, help you fall asleep at night, or help you wake up and be more alert during the day. And they all smell amazing and are perfectly spiced for autumn.

Another easy way to add the aroma of fall to your home is to use this DIY Air Freshener Spray with Fall Essential Oils.

Best essential oils for fall diffuser recipes

The different essential oils that I like to use for fall blends tend to fall within four main categories: citrusy, woodsy and earthy, floral, or spicy.

Here are the essential oils I love and recommend for using in the fall.

Citrusy fall essential oils

  • Grapefruit
  • Orange
  • Lemon

Woodsy and earthy fall essential oils

  • Patchouli
  • Vetiver
  • Cedarwood
  • Fir Balsam

Floral fall essential oils

  • Vanilla
  • Lavender

Spicy fall essential oils

  • Cinnamon
  • Ginger
  • Clove
  • Nutmeg

Which essential oil brand is best?

For the best results, you will want to choose a high-quality essential oil brand that is 100% pure and offers third-party testing for quality control. Read more info on how to choose essential oils that work for you and your family (beyond the brand).

My favorite essential oil companies are Rocky Mountain Oils and Eden’s Garden, followed by Ancient Apothecary by Dr. Axe.

Best diffusers to use

In order to fill your home with these amazing autumn aromas, you need a diffuser!

diffuser for essential oils

I have several inexpensive essential oil diffusers that I use and recommend, depending on the size and style that you want. If you need a diffuser, check out these options:

  • Small – It’s ideal for small rooms.
  • Medium – Works for slightly larger spaces.
  • Large –  I have this one, and it’s great for bigger spaces.
  • Decorative diffuser – I use this style in my office, and it’s my personal favorite because it’s so pretty!
  • Eden’s Garden diffuser – This one is popular if you prefer one from an essential oil company.

Note: I suggest having more than one diffuser in your home because you may want to utilize different blends in various areas (ex: a different blend in your kitchen from the one you use in your bedroom when you are trying to sleep).

How many drops of oil should I put in my diffuser?

Here’s a general guide of how much essential oil I recommend using in diffusers of different sizes:

  • Small – up to 5 drops of essential oils
  • Medium – up to 7-8 drops
  • Large – up to 10 drops

Note: These recipes are written for small diffusers, but you can increase the number of drops if you prefer a stronger scent.   

Best fall diffuser blends

1. Pumpkin Spice Latte

You’ll need 1 drop of EACH of these essential oils:

  • Cinnamon essential oil
  • Orange essential oil
  • Clove essential oil
  • Vanilla essential oil
  • Fir balsam essential oil

2. Autumn Breeze

You’ll need:

  • 2 drops orange essential oil
  • 2 drops clove essential oil
  • 1 drop patchouli essential oil

Note: Patchouli can work as a mild sedative and has the potential to help relieve anxiety. Combine that with orange and clove bud, and you have the remnant of a relaxing fall breeze for you to inhale and enjoy!

3. Fall Dreams

You’ll need:

  • 2 drops lavender essential oil
  • 2 drops vetiver essential oil
  • 1 drop cedarwood essential oil

This blend has oils that are the best at promoting sleep. Lavender and vetiver are well known for helping relax and potentially promote sleep. Cedarwood will add a nice woodsy scent to the mix, reminding you of a fall evening.

4. Spiced Cider

You’ll need:

  • 2 drops orange essential oil
  • 2 drops cinnamon essential oil
  • 1 drop ginger essential oil

The combination of citrus, cinnamon, and ginger makes it smell like you have spiced cider in your crock pot, ready to serve. (And maybe we should make some of that too!)

But if you just want your home to have a citrusy, fall-spiced aroma, then go ahead and try this blend in your diffuser.

Note: We use citrus oils in our favorite “Morning Wake-Up” essential oil blend too!

7. Fresh Autumn Air

You’ll need:

  • 2 drops cinnamon essential oil
  • 1 drop orange essential oil
