Creating Fresh Ocean Scents
Mix geranium, cedarwood, ylang-ylang, and vetiver oil for a beach breeze scent. Rifle through your essential oil stash and look for bottles of geranium, vetiver, cedarwood, and ylang-ylang oil. Add 2 drops of geranium oil, 1 drop of cedarwood oil, 2 drops of vetiver oil, and 2 drops of ylang-ylang oil into your diffuser of choice. Once your diffuser is full, take a deep breath and pretend that you’re enjoying a day at your favorite beach. You can find most essential oils online, or in a home goods store. Ylang-ylang oil comes from a tropical tree, while vetiver is a type of grass.
Use geranium, ylang-ylang, rose, and cedarwood oil for a fresh ocean scent. Add 3 drops of geranium essential oil to your diffuser to give the scent a fresh, floral base, then round it out with 3 drops of ylang-ylang and rose essential oil to a refreshing twist. Round out the scent 3 drops of cedarwood oil to give your mixture a rustic vibe. This is a great scent to try if you’d like to pretend you’re on an island getaway.
Blend lime, eucalyptus, rosemary, and lavender oil for a clean ocean vibe. Add 4 drops of lime essential oil into your diffuser to create a base for your refreshing, beachy scent. Squeeze in 3 drops of lavender oil, 1 drop of eucalyptus oil, and 1 drop of rosemary oil as a finishing touch. Enjoy this smell while unwinding from a tough day, or use it to freshen up your living space! While this scent may not smell exactly like the ocean, you’ll still feel like you’re on the beach.
Making Beachy or Tropical Scents
Make a warm, sunny scent with orange, lemongrass, peppermint, and eucalyptus. Pretend you’re walking enjoying a day in the sun by adding 3 drops of orange and lemongrass essential oil into your diffuser. Mix in 1 drop of both eucalyptus and peppermint oil to round out the scent. These oils help mimic the fruity, refreshing atmosphere of the beach.
Mix cedar, rosemary, citronella, and sandalwood for a beach bonfire vibe. Squeeze 3 drops of cedarwood essential oil to start off your scent. Then, mix in 2 drops of rosemary and royal Hawaiian sandalwood oil. As a finishing touch, mix in 1 drop of citronella oil. When combined, these oils can create a smoky but refreshing take on a beach bonfire!
Create a warm, tropical scent with bergamot and ylang-ylang oil. Nothing can replace a day at the beach, but you can try to replicate the scent with 4 drops of ylang-ylang essential oil and 2 drops of bergamot oil. Mix both ingredients into your diffuser of choice, and enjoy! When combined, these oils create a great tropical, fruity scent. Diffuser oils are the best way to keep your home smelling clean and fresh without the use of harmful chemicals. You can make them using a carrier oil, a small glass bottle, a small funnel, a glass bowl, rubbing alcohol, and your favorite essential oil to add scent. You can use grapeseed, safflower, or sweet almond oil as carrier oil. To prepare it, take 1/4 cup of essential oil in a bowl and add 2 to 3 tbsp rubbing alcohol. Mix all, and add 15 to 20 drops of your favorite essential oil. Transfer this prepared mixture to the glass bottle with a funnel. Your diffuser oil is ready for use. Keep the lid tight to prevent oil from evaporating.
