Who doesn't love autumn, colorful leaves, shaggy sweaters, baking time, lots of early evening creations, brisk walks, cold air, hot tea... And so many wonderful smells that make autumn autumn.
Enjoy autumn to the fullest
There is something so beautifully calming, sweet and peaceful about autumn and its scents. A fresh summer full of fresh flowers and fruits alternates with the earthy scent of autumn, late harvest and falling leaves. Apples, pears and pumpkins, topped with cinnamon, cloves and orange. It was the aroma wafting from the oven while baking a pumpkin pie that inspired us for today's article, we wanted to enjoy autumn and its warm mood not only while tasting homemade goodies, but also while reading a favorite book and cleaning.
Creates an atmosphere, supports immunity
Scents can bring the right atmosphere, encourage or, on the contrary, calm us down, or even take us back in time, because many of our memories are literally saturated with scents. Diffused essential oils can also purify and freshen the air, and since most of them can neutralize various viruses and other creatures, they help against colds, flu or colds.
Smell it
There are many ways to bring the fragrances that make life more fun and diverse into our days and enjoy them in various activities.
Aroma lamps
Flickering light and intoxicating aromas, these are aroma lamps. All you need is a candle, a little water, a few drops of essential oil, a natural scent or maybe a piece of flower wax and that's it. Aroma lamps, which are used in aromatherapy, simply create a warm atmosphere excellent for relaxation.
Diffusers
Whether you have a classic stick diffuser, modern electric, ultrasonic or with LED lighting, made of wood, glass or ceramic, enjoy it with a filling mixed according to your wishes. The basis of the diffuser can be DiPropylene glycol or Augeo, which just needs to be mixed with the selected fragrance and poured into a suitable container.
Incense
Incense sticks are the embodiment of calm, meditation and relaxation. And that most ready-made incense sticks don't suit you? There is nothing easier than making your own incense sticks, which will smell as you wish. You only need to soak the raw sticks in a bath made of DiPropylene glycol and any natural fragrance, give them time until the next day to absorb everything, and then just let them drain and start enjoying them.
Scented cones (Franciskies)
Can you imagine Advent without traditional Franciscans? Certainly not us! But this year, you don't have to wait for the Christmas season, you can make magical scented cones right now, and not only with the smell of classic incense or myrrh. You can play with the raw scent cones and choose the scent you want. The procedure is as simple as with homemade incense sticks.
Household, laundry and cleaning sprays
With homemade air fresheners, you can literally smell good all day long. You can create a simple scented laundry spray by mixing water, vodka or fairy water with your favorite essential oils. On the other hand, Augeo is an unbeatable base for home perfumes and cleaning products, which ensures that you will smell the scent for a much longer time.
Ecogoat fall spray for… everything
In the fall, we like to make a spiced spray that can be used on textiles, as a room perfume, and as an all-purpose cleaner if we add vinegar to it. Just mix 2 tablespoons of fairy water (or vodka) with 5 drops of cedarwood essential oil, 5 drops of rosemary essential oil, 5 drops of bergamot and 5 drops of cinnamon in a nice spray bottle and top up with (filtered) water. Then just shake and spray wherever you like!
