How to Have the Best Smelling Home for the Holidays

The holiday season is synonymous with warmth, joy and delightful aromas. As you gear up for celebrations, look to the magic of aromatherapy to uplevel your home’s ambiance — and seriously impress your holiday guests.

Essential oils, whether diffused, used in a candle, or otherwise – have the power to transform your living spaces into a haven of festive fragrances that will leave a lasting impression on anyone who visits. In this blog, we'll guide you through the art of creating the best-smelling home for the holidays using our essential oils and range of aromatherapy products.

Choose Your Favorite Holiday Scents: From our Cedar Floral and Sparoom Tranquil blend to our single-note peppermint and orange citrus oils, our essential oils will capture the essence of the season and are sure to evoke the spirit of the holidays while creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. 

Decide On Your Aromatherapy Tool(s): Diffusing essential oils is the easiest way to disperse scent throughout a space, and will look stunning while doing so. Our Opulence Diffuser brings a festive touch with its gold exterior while our Reed Diffusers are perfect for smaller spaces craving an elegant touch. Candles are also a nice way to add a warm ambiance and irresistible fragrance. Our ever-popular Cool Peppermint Room Spray gives living rooms and bathrooms a perfect punch of holiday scent.

Place Throughout Your Home: Immerse your home in the magic of scent by strategically placing your diffusers, potpourri and/or candles in key areas. Consider the entryway, living room, dining space, and powder room for maximum impact. As guests step into your home, they'll be greeted by the captivating fragrances, setting the tone for a festive and memorable experience.

Scented Linens and Fabrics: Infuse your linens, curtains, and upholstery with your favorite Sparoom Room and Linen Sprays. You can also add a few drops of essential oil to a small cloth or sachet and tuck it into drawers, closets, or between sofa cushions. This subtle touch will release a pleasant fragrance every time you use or move these items.

Infuse Seasonal Décor with Aromatherapy: Looking for a more unique way to inject holiday scent? Incorporate them into your decorations! Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to pinecones, wreaths, or potpourri, and let the natural elements soak up the festive fragrance. Not only will your décor look stunning, but it will also release bursts of holiday joy as you move throughout your home.

Make a Simmer Pot: Another creative way to infuse scent into your kitchen and beyond is through a homemade simmer pot. Combine classic fruits like apples and oranges, spices like clove and cinnamon, and herbs like rosemary and pine with our essential oils to make the house smell like a Christmas dream. 

Scented Party Favors: At the end of your holiday party, send guests home with a personalized touch by gifting them scented party favors. Small bottles of custom essential oil blends or DIY potpourri in mason jars infused with holiday scents make for thoughtful and unique take-home gifts.

With the versatility of essential oils, having the best-smelling home this holiday season is a sinch. Experiment with different scents, get creative with DIY solutions, and let the natural aromas elevate your living space into a festive sanctuary of sensory bliss. Happy hosting and happy holidays!
