November Diffuser Blends

Make your home extra cozy this season with these November diffuser blends! These fall-themed blends are perfect for Thanksgiving and the holiday season.

Thanksgiving diffuser blends are not only great for Thanksgiving day, but throughout this whole holiday season!

There are so many things to love about November: homemade pumpkin soap, pumpkin pie, beautiful autumn leaves, and Thanksgiving dinner, to name a few.

It is such an exciting time of year, as we have officially entered the wonderful Holiday Season.

It is time to get those Christmas lists out and pies in the oven. Make the season even more special by diffusing seasonal essential oil blends!

Below we share the best essential oils to diffuse during the wonderful month of November and some lovely November diffuser blends. They’ll make your home feel extra cozy and inviting this time of year.

Why We Love Diffusing Essential Oils

  • Cozy seasonal scents: Nothing gets me in the mood for autumn like lovely essential oil blends! With scents like pumpkin pie and spiced apple cider, these blends will make it feel like November.
  • Aromatherapy: The smell of essential oils isn’t just enjoyable, it can actually have a significant impact on your mood and wellbeing! Aromatherapy from essential oils is just what we need when the chaos of the holidays hits.
  • Skip the candles: Scented candles are a popular way to make your house smell seasonal, but they can be quite harmful to our health! Many store-bought candles contain paraffin wax, heavy metals, and artificial fragrance which are released into the air we breathe. Diffusing gives you the lovely scents without any of the harmful ingredients! Of course, we're still a fan of scented candles; we just opt for homemade candles with essential oils, like our rosemary mint soy candle.

Best Essential Oils for Thanksgiving

Cinnamon

This essential oil is extracted from the bark of a tropical tree and smells just like fall! It has a distinct fragrance and can be a very beneficial mood enhancer.

Clove

This essential oil is a perfect addition to any fall diffuser blend because it has a spicy fall aroma and pairs well with the other autumnal oils. We especially love diffusing clove essential oil because it boosts the immune system, which is very important this time of year!

Cardamom

Known for its ability to ease the digestive system, support healthy respiratory function, and calm the nervous system, cardamom is a great essential oil to diffuse during the busy holiday season.

Cassia

Another oil that smells like fall, cassia has a sweet yet spicy aroma. It is an uplifting oil that will certainly improve everybody’s moods when you diffuse it!

Wild Orange

The sweet citrus smell of orange makes our list of the best smelling essential oils and pairs nicely with one of the spicier oils on this list. In fact, this oil is used in many of our diffuser blends, including our spring diffuser blends!

Juniper Berry

Similar to the wild orange, the juniper berry has a sweet citrus smell. When used aromatically, it is very calming.

Coriander

Distilled from the coriander seed, this essential oil has a pleasantly fresh and spicy aroma. It pairs nicely with other fall essential oils!

Ginger

Ginger essential oil has a warm and spicy aroma, perfect for fall.

Sandalwood

One of our all-time favorite essential oils, sandalwood adds a wonderful, long-lasting scent to any fall diffuser blend. It has a woodsy, calming aroma that is not overpowering.

Douglas Fir

Douglas fir adds a fresh, woodsy aroma to any essential oil blend. It gives blends a hint of Christmas, which we love as the season approaches!

Expert Tips

  • Don’t forget to keep your diffuser clean to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria! Learn more about how to clean a diffuser in our journal tutorial.
  • If you don’t have a particular oil for one of the diffuser blends, don’t fret. You can either substitute it with a similar-scented oil or simply use a larger amount of the other oils in the blend.
  • Always use your diffuser in an open, well-ventilated area with good airflow and open doors.
  • If you have pets in the home, we suggest doing a bit of research before diffusing oils and ensuring they are able to leave the room if needed.
  • If you love these November diffuser blends, you’ll definitely want to see our fall diffuser blends, winter diffuser blends, and, of course, Christmas diffuser blends!
