Essential oils have risen in popularity over the last few months. If you are new to essential oils, you may be wondering which oils actually smell good. Of course, the scent preference is a personal preference, so it will vary from person to person, but this article will highlight five of the best smelling oils that individuals new to the essential oil world usually enjoy.
Peppermint Oil
Peppermint oil is a favorite among many because it reminds them of the winter months and Christmas time. However, there are many benefits to peppermint oil that extend beyond it smelling great. Essential oil enthusiasts use this oil year round for the scent and the added health benefits.
Sweet Orange Oil
Sweet orange is a crowd favorite for diffusing. If you place a few drops of sweet orange in your diffuser in your kitchen, your kitchen will have a fresh scent in no time. Sweet orange is a flavor that is liked by most people who like the smell of oranges themselves, so if you are a fan, you will be sure to love this oil.
Lavender Oil
Lavender is best known for its relaxing properties, but it has a great scent too. This one is definitely a personal preference because some people just aren’t fans of it. However, you have likely smelled something lavender before in your life, so you should know if you like this scent before smelling an essential oil. Remember that you can always customize the strength of the smell when diffusing by adding less or more of the oil until you get it adjusted to your liking.
Lemon Essential Oil
Like orange essential oil, lemon is a favorite for the kitchen. The citrus oils provide a scent that is fresh and clean, which go great with a freshly cleaned kitchen. If you like both lemon and orange scents, you can mix these two oils to create your own customizable scent. Feel free to use lemon essential oil in any room of your home to keep it smelling fresh and clean.
Eucalyptus Essential Oil
Eucalyptus essential oil is a great safe scent if you are just starting your journey with essential oils. Known for its stress-relieving properties, Eucalyptus is excellent to diffuse after you arrive home from a stressful day at work or school. This scent is not overwhelming, which makes it a great one to start with.
