[Edit]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.[1]
- 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. [2]
- 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![3]
- While this scent may not smell exactly like the ocean, you’ll still feel like you’re on the beach.
[Edit]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.[4]
- 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![5]
- 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![6]
- When combined, these oils create a great tropical, fruity scent.
[Edit]Tips
