10 ways to enjoy the aroma of essential oils
Table of contents
Natural essential oils, extracted from plants, possess unique and rich aromas. This article introduces 10 simple and common ways to enjoy the fragrance of essential oils. Let's try them out!
Direct method
Simply drop pure essential oil directly onto various items such as fabrics, handkerchiefs, sachet fillings, scented wax, diffuser wood, and diffuser stones, allowing the fragrance to naturally diffuse into the space.
Aroma diffuser
You can directly drop pure essential oils into instruments such as aroma humidifiers or nebulizing diffusers, allowing the machine to disperse the essential oil molecules into the air. The difference between the two is that aroma humidifiers also have a humidifying function.
Smell salt
Put some sea salt in a small glass bottle, drop pure essential oil directly onto the salt grains, close the bottle, and when you want to smell it, open the bottle and bring it close to your nose to smell it.
Warm steam
Add 1-2 drops of pure essential oil directly to a cup or basin of hot water. The steam from the hot water will evaporate along with the essential oil. Bring your nose close to the water and inhale the steam and essential oil molecules simultaneously. You can use a large towel to cover your head and the cup or basin together to prevent the essential oil from dissipating too quickly.

Bath
Simply add a few drops of pure essential oil directly to bath salts, then add the bath salts to your bath water. You can enjoy the soothing aroma of the essential oils while taking a bath.
Fragrance spray, perfume
Essential oils are diluted with solvents such as alcohol and then placed in a spray bottle to create a fragrance for the room or body.
Diffuser sticks
Dilute the essential oil with solvents such as alcohol, put it in a glass bottle, insert diffuser sticks, and let the essential oil slowly evaporate along the diffuser sticks.
Handmade soap
Add essential oils to homemade soaps so you can enjoy their fragrance while cleansing or bathing.
Perfume Balm
Products made from plant oils, waxes, and essential oils are applied to the hands for a fragrant effect.
Candle
You can also add essential oils when making candles, allowing the oils to diffuse into the air as the candle burns.
