Pumpkin Spice Essential Oil Blend Recipe
Shopping for pumpkin spice blends was actually tougher than I thought. Few essential oil companies sell a pumpkin spice type of essential oil blend. Hint: these are the ones that do.
This is especially true if you’re looking for this favorite scent when it is not in season. What if you want pumpkin spice in February? Well, easy! You’ll just have to blend your own.
You can quickly make this pumpkin spice blend at home. Do it once as a master blend, and use it often!
A master blend simply means to create a larger amount of a blend you like. This way, you don’t have to re-blend it anytime you want to use it.
Ingredients
- 20 drops Cinnamon Bark essential oil
- 20 drops Ginger Root essential oil
- 15 drops Nutmeg essential oil
- 15 drops Clove Bud essential oil
- 10 drops Sweet Orange essential oil
- 5 drops Cardamom essential oil
Directions
- Add all essential oils into an empty 5 ml amber glass bottle. This size bottle will hold the blend perfectly.
- Tighten the screw cap and gently shake the bottle to blend the oils. Do not shake too roughly.
- Use 5-6 drops in your essential oil diffuser.
Notes
Nutmeg and clove have very strong scents. It is important to use equal parts nutmeg and clove, to keep the blend balanced.
Adding orange essential oil makes sure the blend smells sweet and is not overwhelmed by the stronger spices.
This blend should have a very mild and pleasant scent. You may even find yourself wanting to make more of it again to get you through the winter season, too.
It is great for diffusing, adding to DIY recipes, and even for perfuming your body.
