Autumn is the season for sweaters and hot teas, crisp mornings with beautiful sunny afternoons, going apple picking, and carving pumpkins. Just like decorating for fall holidays, essential oils can be used as diffusions, room mists, or even body oils to help build the autumn ambiance around your home.

Fruit and spice essential oils are the ultimate fall vibe- think the aroma of mulled cider wafting through your home, or an apple orchard warmed by the sun.  Coniferous and resinous essential oils are also perfect for chilly fall evenings, especially as we transition closer to the winter months.

Our favorite essential oils for capturing that autumn energy:

• Aura Cacia Rosemary Essential Oil: rosemary has a sharp, herbaceous aroma reminiscent of evergreens with a slight citrusy undertone. It is energizing and uplifting, perfect to help start your day (especially if you’d rather stay in bed where it’s warm!)
• Aura Cacia Bergamot Essential Oil: bergamot is a beautifully complex aroma, with notes of citrus and lavender, that is both calming and uplifting. When blended with floral, citrus, and herbaceous essential oils it helps to bring out those more delicate top and middle notes.
• Aura Cacia Sweet Orange Essential Oil: sweet orange essential oil is a cheering oil that just captures the feeling of warm sun on your skin. It blends so well with the spice essential oils to create a warming, cozy atmosphere.
• Warming spice essential oils: Aura Cacia Cassia (Cinnamon) Essential Oil, Aura Cacia Fresh Ginger Essential Oil, Aura Cacia Cardamom Essential Oil, and Aura Cacia Clove Bud Essential Oil can be used either individually or together, as well as alongside citruses like sweet orange, tangerine, and mandarin orange. When blended, these citrus essential oils can create the most incredible mulled cider-like diffusions, body oils, and mists.
• Aura Cacia Vanilla in Jojoba: the sweet, intoxicating aroma of vanilla adds a beautiful base note to your citrus and spice oils, adding an almost creamy feel to any blend.
• Evergreen aromas: Aura Cacia Juniper Berry Essential Oil, Aura Cacia Cypress Essential Oil, and Aura Cacia Pine Essential Oil all have a sharp, woodsy aroma that can be used in diffusion blends to capture that crisp fall air feel, brightening your airspace and bringing that feeling of having been in the woods right into your home.
• Aura Cacia Journey to Diffusion Kit: our Journey to Diffusion Kit takes all the guesswork out of making blends. Spice Market is the perfect blend of warming fall spices, and Apple Orchard feels like you’re walking outside on one of those perfect, sunny fall afternoons.
