1. Bergamot, Frankincense, and Lavender
This creative mixture requires one drop of bergamot, two drops of frankincense, and three drops of lavender. Meant to elicit feelings related to a calm and quiet winter night, these essential oils are great for relaxing the mind and taking some time to yourself at home.
Lavender specifically is great for relaxation and calming the mind, so if you’re trying to destress after doing your holiday shopping or getting busier at work, this is a great mixture to try.
If you’d rather get a ready-made mixture that’s similar in its effects, the Santal essential oil blend may be a good bet.
2. Cypress, Douglas Fir, and Frankincense
To create this lovely Christmas tree essential oil blend, you’ll want to add two drops of each of these oils to your mixture.
Cypress is often used in essential oil mixtures to stimulate the minds of those that smell it, so it’s a great option if you’re looking to liven things up in your home. Similar to the douglas fir scent, cypress pairs well with frankincense to create an earthy, inviting aroma.
Douglas fir offers a very woody, invigorating scent that makes people think of pine trees and the fresh, crisp air outside. It pairs well with cypress because it also helps to energize the senses.
Lastly, frankincense is a scent that is often used in places of worship. It holds spiritual meaning for many people and has been associated with Christmas since the time when Jesus was born.
3. Frankincense and Myrrh
For this mixture, we recommend adding three drops of both of these essential oils to your blend.
As we described, frankincense has roots in Christmas traditions. It also pairs very well with myrrh to create a scent that makes you feel like it’s Christmas time. This is the perfect Christmas spirit essential oil blend recipe!
Myrrh is also a symbolic scent because it refers to the birth of Jesus. As a gift from the three wise men, myrrh is customarily burned in places of worship. Aside from this, it is also great for the immune system and for relieving anxiety.
