Diffusing essential oils is one of the best ways to ring in a new season. These fall diffuser blends will be just what you need to get your home smelling festive.
I love diffusing for the season, especially fall. I wouldn’t mind if my house smelled like fall treats all day, every day. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case, but with essential oils, I can at least get the scent I want using these fall diffuser blends.
Several essential oils that have that fall scent also have powerful immune-boosting properties. With the cooler weather that comes with the season, this is a win-win.
I dream of all the fall smells on those really, REALLY hot summer days, and as much as I love summer, fall is the best time of year. The cooler days, the beautiful leaves, and pumpkins. Have you noticed I am obsessed with all things pumpkin yet?
Every fall, I make loads of homemade pumpkin spice soap and homemade fall body scrubs to really savor all of the seasonal scents and ingredients! I can’t get enough.
The only thing I dread about the fall is what comes next – the dreaded winters. At least I have these fall essential oil diffuser blends to look forward to.
Why We Love Diffusing Oils
- Aromatherapy: One of the biggest benefits of diffusing essential oils is the aromatherapy that oils provide. Aromatherapy can have a big impact on your mood and overall wellbeing. When my family needs calming, energizing, focus, and more, I always turn to an essential oil blend. They are foolproof at adjusting the mood in our house for the better!
- Nontoxic fragrance: If you love scented candles and air fresheners but want to avoid the harmful effects of artificial fragrances, essential oils are for you. Diffusing oils scent your home in the same way but only with safe, nontoxic fragrance.
- Seasonal scents: I love diffusing whatever oils match the season we are in! At the start of each season, I’ll pull out my favorite oils for that season. In fact, I’ve shared spring diffuser blends, winter diffuser blends, summer diffuser blends, and even essential oil blends for Christmas. It puts me in the mood for the season and makes them feel more special!
- Immune-boosting: It’s amazing that oils don’t just smell great; they can also have a positive impact on your immune system. Many of the oils that smell like fall help boost the immune system, so you can get the benefits while enjoying the scent of autumn.

I have several different diffusers throughout my house. If you do not have a diffuser, you can get one that I like here.
How to Diffuse Essential Oils
Step 1. Fill your diffuser with water up to the fill line. Then, add your drops of essential oils.
Step 2. Secure the lid and press start. For some diffusers, you may also set a run time.

Essential Oils for Boosting the Immune System
Several essential oils can be used to boost your immune system and diffusing them into the air can be very beneficial to your body. As you inhale the essential oils going into the air, they will start working to support your body and boost the immune system. You can read more about this topic in my blog post about the best essential oils for the immune system.
Some of the most powerful immune-boosting essential oils happen to be the ones that smell like fall and Christmas (right during cold and flu season!). Just another reason to keep those fall essential oil blends on hand this time of year!
Fall Essential Oils That Boost the Immune System
- Wild orange: Wild orange is one of my most used essential oils. Wild orange can support a healthy immune response, promote clear breathing, and uplift the mood. Diffusing wild orange essential oil can give you a burst of energy and sweeten up any blend. It pairs well with all the spicy aromas in the fall diffuser blends.
- Cinnamon: Cinnamon essential oil is extracted from the bark of a tropical tree and has a beautiful yet spicy fragrance. It is filled with many beneficial compounds and has powerful immune-boosting properties. Cinnamon can be very cleansing for the air, making it a great essential oil to diffuse at your next fall party.
- Clove: Clove essential oil can make the perfect addition to any fall diffuser blend because of its spicy fall aroma. Like cinnamon, clove has amazing immune-boosting properties. It can also relieve respiratory conditions such as a cough or asthma.
- Cardamom: Cardamom is known for its ability to ease the digestive system, support healthy respiratory function, and calm the nervous system. It will add that fall scent to the air, all while dispersing these aromatic benefits.
- Ginger: Ginger has been used for a number of years, mainly for easing an upset stomach. The ginger essential oil can boost the immune system, calm the nerves, and promote a healthy respiratory system.
Expert Tips
- Diffusing essential oils doesn’t have to be precise. In fact, I rarely follow an exact recipe. If you don’t get the drops right, it is OK. These recipes are meant to be broken. 😉 Get creative and tweak it, and then tell me about it. Because I always love to try new blends.
- If you don’t have a particular essential oil in the blend, simply omit it or use one that has a similar scent. You can add more of a different oil in the blend that you do have.
- Be sure to keep your diffuser clean to prevent mold and other nastiness from growing in it. Learn how to clean a diffuser in my blog post tutorial.
- If you have pets, I suggest researching if the oils you are using are safe for use around pets.

Firstly, thank you for your posts/recipes, I love them. I have really trying to make a conscious effort to not buy products full of chemicals. I love diffusers, would these recipes work the same for reed diffusers? What would the oil quantity be? Thanks
Thank you, I do have a blog post about creating your own reed diffuser. Within that blog post, you will find several reed diffuser blend suggestions.
Thank you so much for all the research, work, and love you put into your posts. I am an avid follower and appreciate everything you share. I am especially grateful that your wisdom is free! God bless you. ♥️
Thank you so much!!
Fall blends are my favourite blends to diffuse.
Agree! I could diffuse them all year round!
The Orange Spice Blend is my absolute favorite! I want to use it year round!
Yes, I love that one too! It will work well for Christmas so just keep diffusing! 🙂
This is amazing! Would be a great gift idea for the holidays!
Are all of these safe to diffuse around babies/toddlers? Love the smell of falls but afraid of diffusing my oils around my kids since of all the differing info I’ve read about which ones are safe! Thanks, Laura!
Yes, they are safe, as long as you are using pure essential oils. A lot of the stuff you read is referring to essential oils that are not pure, I have a post on this. I diffuse these around my littles all the time.
