10 All-Time Favorite Fall Diffuser Blends (Plus Free Printable)

Do you love the fall season? Me too! Brisk mornings, beautiful colors, I love everything fall! It is no surprise that creating fall diffuser blends is among my favorite things to do!

To celebrate the season, I also make fall-themed crafts, put Cinnamon oil into my hand soap, and make sure to diffuse my favorite immune strengthening blends. But essential oil blends are especially popular for this time of year.

I tend to use my essential oil diffuser a bit more during colder months and when cold & flu season is lingering. Aromatherapy provides beautiful support for our immune systems, as well as our emotional health and well-being as the days get darker and the nights get colder.

Diffusing essential oils is also an extra nice touch for festive holidays such as Thanksgiving.

Here are 10 of my favorite fall diffuser blends that help you capture the spirit of the season! And best of all – you can snag them in a free printable, too!

Perfect for any day of the autumn months, my fall essential oil blends are created with a set of the best essential oils for fall.

Best Essential Oils for Fall

When I think about the fall season, I think earthy, woody, but still somewhat spicy and brisk aromas. Fall isn’t a very flowery season so you won’t find any summer or spring essential oils in this collection.

For fall essential oils, I especially recommend:

• Cedarwood Essential Oil
• Cinnamon Essential Oil
• Cassia Essential Oil
• Cardamom Essential Oil
• Clove Essential Oil
• Sweet Orange Essential Oil
• Frankincense Essential Oil
• Bergamot Essential Oil
• Lemon Essential Oil
• Ginger Essential Oil
• Patchouli Essential Oil

How to Use A Diffuser Recipe?

Essential oil diffusers are a true blessing to freshen up stale air. They are used to disperse fine particles of oils blended with water into the surroundings of the room. Please refer to our guide on how to use an essential oil diffuser if you’re completely new to the topic of diffusing oils.

Though some diffusers have instructions to dilute up to 12 drops of oil, that much isn’t required unless you have a water tank of 300+ mL. Most common essential oil diffusers have a reservoir of around 150-200 mL, which requires 6-7 drops of essential oils only.

For an exact chart of essential oil diffuser sizes and how many drops to use in each unit, please refer to our dilution rates guide here.

• For a diffuser size around 100 ml: cut the recipes in half.
• Larger sized diffuser of 300+ ml: double the recipe drops.
