What non-synthetic scents (e.g. oils) can I use to make my house smell like a cosy haven?

Just as title, please.

I have an oil burner, or I would be open to natural candles as well – but I just want to find out what other wise Mumsnetters Who Know Things are using to scent their homes naturally with the cosy joys of autumn?
🍂
Are there any particular essential oil blends or candles / other products that anyone would recommend?

Thanks in advance!

I love Geodesis Diffusers. They also do oil for a mist diffuser but not tried that as I'm very happy with the original. For the price I really don't think you can beat them for fragrance and quality

Oooh thank you both! Just realised this could be expensive Grin

Bumping this for the knowledgeable weekend crowd. What scented candle or oil is currently wafting through your home to sighs of cosy appreciation?

Neom - Jasmine, bergamot and geranium in my living room - it gives off posh spa vibes.
Bedtime Hero in my bedroom ( I dislike lavender and this is citrus based)

Also look at Soapery 21 - I have Sleepy as an alternative to the above.
I also had one of the christmas ones last year - can't remember which one.
Coorie is nice if you like woody smokey smells.

I've also just posted a thread - wonder if I'll get any suggestions.

Have you seen simmer pots? You put a few things into a pot of hot water and then let it simmer. e.g. orange and lemon slices, cinammon sticks, slice of ginger. You can google suggestions.

I have a wood burner, so leave a simmer pot on top of it when it's on, and it makes the house smell lovely. I probably wouldn't bother if I didn't have a wood burner though, as it seems a bit dangerous and wasteful to leave a hob on just for that.

Love these ideas, thank you! I bought Neom Cosy nights oil, I’m getting the croissant candle upthread and now I have new shopping to do 😍
