"From hot apple cider to baked goods in the oven, there's a candle for every fall scent. As much of a sucker as I am for fragrant candles, several years ago I decided to cut down on my candle spending. While my grandma's olla aromática recipes can compete with any high-end candle (and win), I don't always have the time to leave a pot simmering on the stove all day."
"In my search for a scent solution that would be quicker than a simmer pot and cheaper than a rotating door of new candles, I came across a TikTok tutorial of a DIY essential oil spray. I decided to play around with different combos to re-create fall fragrances, and to my surprise the results were magical. Since then, these tiny, autumn-packed blends have become one of my go-to ways to make my home smell cozy all throughout the season."
"To make it, combine one tablespoon of rubbing alcohol (or witch hazel) and the above essential oils into a 2-ounce glass spray bottle, and gently swirl. Then, fill the rest of the bottle with distilled or filtered water, screw on the top, and shake well. Let the spray sit for a day or two to allow the scents to mingle and intensify for a more harmonious and potent aroma. Always shake well before each use."
DIY essential oil sprays provide a fast, inexpensive way to fill a home with autumn scents. Small blends can mimic pumpkin pie, woodsy, and crisp fall aromas without candles or simmering pots. A basic pumpkin pie spray uses rubbing alcohol or witch hazel, essential oils, a 2-ounce glass spray bottle, and distilled or filtered water. Blends benefit from sitting a day or two to let scents mingle and intensify. The sprays are customizable, easy to make, and offer a simple method to refresh a room with seasonal fragrance.
