With three simple ingredients and an infinite number of scent combinations, it’s almost too easy to customize your own, natural aromatherapy routine. To unwind after a long day, refresh the linen closet, or revitalize the living room without cloying chemicals or synthetic products, go the natural route with essential oils.
Follow this recipe to craft your own signature scent (or two, or three). We won’t tell.
Try varying the scents you use by season, room, or even your mood. Here are some scent combinations we’re currently digging:
- Soothing: Lavender + Tea Tree
- Invigorating: Eucalyptus + Lemongrass
- Cozy: Cinnamon + Sweet Orange
