The 10 Best Essential Oils For Your Diffuser

Soothing and relaxing scents that will transform your home into a calming oasis.
The 10 Best Essential Oils For Your Diffuser

Everyone’s wind down routine looks different, but there’s nothing like setting the mood at home with a soothing fragrance as you’re prepping for a relaxing evening. If you use a diffuser, the fragrance oil you choose is ultimately the deciding factor, and luckily, you’re at no shortage of options to choose from. 

The oil you land on may vary based on whether you are working with an electric or reed diffuser, but whether you opt for a pure essential oil, or a blended formula, both make for a tool to quickly fill your home with a soothing smell that will soon create a relaxing sensation. 

Especially if you are using an electric diffuser, the need to refill your diffuser daily or bi-daily makes for an opportune chance to try out new scents frequently. Ahead, we have rounded up some of our favorites, from woody, earth scents, to oil blends that are great for relieving allergies and sinuses.
