Cinnamon & Nutmeg Essential Oils
Do you want your home to smell like freshly baked gingerbread cookies? Cinnamon or Nutmeg essential oils will give your home a holiday spice scent that you’ll yearn for all year long. A great way to fill your home with these scents is to make your own essential oil potpourri. While making your own potpourri, consider adding these essential oils to pinecones for a more festive look.
Clove Essential Oil
This essential oil is derived from dried flower buds and has a warm woodsy aroma that’s perfect for Winter time. Clove essential oil stimulates and energizes while naturally disinfecting the air. You can make your own reed diffusers to freshen your air naturally and emit a pleasant scent.
Orange Essential Oil
For a refreshing seasonal aroma that resembles the holiday smell of mulled wine and oranges, you can mix together Orange, Clove and Cinnamon essential oils. This is the perfect aroma to be able to enjoy during Winter while sitting by the fireplace drinking some mulled wine or a glass of hot apple cider. You can make your own potpourri with this blend and fill your whole house with this warm, seasonal aroma. You can also diffuse wooden door hangers or make traditional orange pomander balls out of oranges and cloves.
Anise Essential Oil
The warm, spicy scent of Anise essential oil is always pleasant to indulge in during the Winter months. Anise essential oil is a powerful relaxant, which is often needed during holidays. Anise essential oil decreases your body’s nervous response to stress and slows down your body’s blood circulation. You can add a few drops of Anise essential oil to your furnace filter every couple days to enjoy this pleasant spicy scent throughout your whole house.
