Favorite oils to diffuse for scent ?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
I have a diffuser and a collection of oils. Some I use just for their therapeutic benefits...but most of the time I just want them to smell good. I am having a hard time finding more oils that I simply like the smell of. I was wondering if anyone would like to recommend something I might like to try next ?

The ones I like so far are lavender, lemon, tea tree, spruce, and fir. I really love all of these. I also liked grapefruit. To me these are clean, light, fresh, and not overpowering. The ones I've tried and don't care for the smell (even really dilute) are geranium, palmarosa, mandarin, basil, and cinnamon leaf. All of these set me on edge.

So far I have only tried the least expensive oils, but I would try a small amount of something more expensive...

Thank you !

I think you'd like this blend I used recently in a soap: Mint with ylang ylang, it was sweet spicy and fresh. I used to really love sandalwood, found it very romantic, but I think I outgrew that. Tangerine, lemongrass, and vetiver was an interesting one.

Lemongrass smells wonderful to me when I use it, but I don't care for the way it smells just sniffing the bottle. It goes well with citrus scents, so it might work well with grapefruit.

You have to be careful with it, but I love Jasmine. If you use too much though, it is not good. I love vetiver too.

ETA, I almost forgot my favorite, Neroli (orange blossom)
