15 Must-Have Essential Oil Blends for Summer

5 · Jun 11, 2022 · Lisa Veronese · Leave a Comment

To quote the sublime words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, summer is a time to “live in the sunshine, swim in the sea, drink the wild air’s salubrity.” One of the most evocative ways that summer speaks to our spirit is through the iconic scents of the season: think robust, floral humidity; freshly cut grass and tomato plants; watermelon, citrus, and ripe peaches; and the unmistakable freshness of laundry dried on the line.

Designed to work in tandem with wide open windows and the wafting of warm breezes, here are some sweet essential oil diffuser blends to welcome even more of that wild and verdant energy of summer into your home:

15 Summer Essential Oil Blends

15 Must-Have Essential Oil Blends for Summer - Hello Nest

1. Fresh and Fruity

A balanced blend that hits notes that are both uplifting and delicious, this one is perfect for any room that could use a crisp and cheery pick-me-up such as bathrooms and entranceways:

  • 5 drops grapefruit
  • 3 drops basil
  • 2 drops wintergreen or spearmint
  • 2 drops anise

2. Citrus Joy

Like walking through a citrus grove at high sun, this is a great blend for any room, and works particularly well in kitchens as it won’t compete with the scents of whatever you’ve got cooking:

  • 4 drops lemon
  • 3 drops sweet orange
  • 3 drops bergamot
  • 2 drops lime

3. Earth Mother

For a grounded, warm, and woodsy summer blend sultry enough for the bedroom, try:

  • 3 drops patchouli
  • 3 drops sandalwood
  • 3 drops sweet orange
  • 3 drops cedarwood

4. French Garden

Inspired by Monet’s paintings of Giverny, this delicate blend brings the lavender luxe of French gardens into your home, and works well in wide open living areas:

  • 4 drops lavender
  • 3 drops geranium
  • 3 drops bergamot
  • 2 drops rose

5. Wildflower Field

Less formally floral than the French Garden, this blooming blend is herbaceous and subtle, like wildflower fields, and could be used anywhere throughout your space:

  • 3 drops blue tansy
  • 3 drops chamomile
  • 2 drops clary sage
  • 2 drops ylang ylang
  • 2 drops tangerine or sweet orange

6. Happy Hour

Just as the name suggests, this blend is inspired by the ingredients you’d find on a summer cocktail menu. Get this blend going in your kitchen, or even out on the porch or in the yard:

  • 4 drops spearmint
  • 4 drops lime
  • 2 drops basil
  • 2 drops juniper berry
