How to Blend Essential Oils for Your Diffuser & Bath: What Scents Go With Lavender?

What Are Essential Oils?

Essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts taken from seeds, stems, flowers, roots, bark, and fruits. Used in aromatherapy and skincare, they offer natural support for mood, skin, energy, and sleep.

Whether you're using a best aromatherapy diffuser, adding essential oils to your bath, or blending a roll on essential oils set, learning how to combine oils effectively is key to unlocking their benefits.

How to Use Essential Oils in a Diffuser

Not sure how to use an aroma diffuser? Start here.

Step 1 – Determine Your Mood:
Want to feel relaxed, energised, or focused? Choose oils to match your goal—whether you're winding down at night or getting ready to tackle your day.

Step 2 – Select & Blend Your Oils:
Start with 5–8 drops total per 100ml of water in your diffuser. Combine oils based on their properties or what smells amazing together.

Step 3 – Adjust & Enjoy:
Once diffused, you’ll know if your blend needs tweaking. Write down your favourites to recreate your custom essential oil blends.

What Scents Go With Lavender?

If you love lavender, you’re in luck—it blends beautifully with many essential oils and in two of our sets too!

• Lavender + Sweet Orange + Frankincense – for calming and uplifting (breathe calm set)

• Lavender + Frankincense + Geranium – serenity, grounding and hormone balance (rest calm set)

• Lavender + Peppermint – for clarity and focus

• Lavender + Geranium – for hormone balance and serenity

• Lavender + Lemon or Eucalyptus – for a fresh, purifying blend

Not sure? Hold two bottles to your nose together and see if they harmonise. What essential oils blend well together is partly science, partly personal preference.

Essential Oils for Bath and Body

Enjoy the benefits of essential oils in bath salts, almond oils, or carrier oils for a luxury spa feel at home:
