Make your own room scent blend
With a few essential oils you conjure your own signature scent. We show blends and the pet rule.
To the blendsA few drops, a big effect
For a lovely room scent you need only a few drops of essential oil in a diffuser or on a scent stone. Fresh citrus notes, calming lavender or warm cedarwood are popular.
Less is more: the scent should be pleasant, not flood the room.

Blends to try
- Fresh and awake: lemon with a touch of peppermint.
- Calm and warm: lavender with a little cedarwood.
- Cosy: orange with a drop of cinnamon or clove, very sparingly.
- Dosage: only a few drops, rather add more than overdose.
- Caution pets: essential oils are toxic to cats, so when in doubt do not scent.
- Caution citrus: on the skin many citrus oils are phototoxic, but here it is only about room air.
Said honestly
Your own scent blend is quickly made and a joy, but two things are part of it: dose sparingly and be considerate of housemates, especially cats, for whom essential oils can be toxic. It is about a feel-good scent, not an effect, and we make no healing promises. We give you the facts, the decision stays with you.
