The 24 Spring Diffuser Blends We Can’t Stop Diffusing!

Spring means sunshine on your face, green leaves, and flowers blooming. It means reconnecting with friends after long winters, throwing open windows, and lots of fresh air. It means energy for fun new projects, and spring cleaning to get rid of the dust bunnies from the last season. 

And it means gorgeous new spring diffuser blends made from essential oils like cedarwood, grapefruit, lemon, lavender, thyme, and so many more! 

Our favorite spring diffuser blends are cleansing, motivating, inspiring, and delighting.

How to Create Your Own Spring Essential Oil Blends 

Essential oils blends (like these DIY diffuser blend recipes for spring, below) are endlessly customizable. 

Everybody has different tastes and preferences, and it’s so great being able to create your own blends that smell exactly the way you want, that use the essential oils you already have on hand, or that have oils that help with immune support, anxiety, motivation, etc.  

You can combine any essential oils you want, but we’ve provided some charts and ideas to make it even easier! 

Combining Essential Oils Like a Perfumer 

Essential oil aromas fall into three different categories: 

• Top notes
• Middle notes or heart notes 
• Base notes 

Top notes evaporate quickly. They’re the first scent you smell in a perfumed or fragranced product. 

Heart notes bring balance by bridging the top and the base notes. 

Base notes are heavier and tend to last longer, after the top notes and heart notes have evaporated. 

To make a custom DIY essential oils blend for spring, you can start by choosing a top, middle, and base note. 

The most popular ratio is 3:5:2 (three drops of your top note, five of your middle note, and two of your base note). 

Here are some of our favorite spring oils, organized by top, heart, and base notes:

How Many Drops of My Spring Diffuser Blend Do I Use? 

We typically recommend 3-5 drops of essential oil per 100mL, but of course follow your diffuser’s instructions (here’s our favorite diffuser)! 

Tip: Use a dropper bottle like one of these to mix up your diffuser blends ahead of time! 

Popular Diffuser Sizes	Number of Drops
100ml	3-5 drops
300ml	9-15 drops
500ml	15-25 drops
