What’s the best essential oil combo for a “spa “ whiff?

[PartoftheProbl3m]

You know - Aveda , plinky plinky music

Not fruity.

Any great ideas?

[ellaballoo]

I am waiting for a spa scented essential oil to arrive from The White Company .

[Booksandwine80]

I have a diffuser and I love mixing lavender and ylang ylang. Not necessarily spa scent but absolutely beautiful and calming

[ellaballoo]

It’s neroli ,geranium and eucalyptus .

[NoMoreDucksToGive]

Oh good question! I think neroli, lavender, maybe ylang-ylang. Frangipani possibly too, chamomile. I'd love to be able to recreate the smell accurately but haven't got more than part-way there with those scents.

The Neom de-stress collection smells exactly like a spa to me. I've screen shot the info on what scents they use.

I'm getting the Neom Wellbeing pod for my Christmas. They seem to be the ones used in spas. They have a Real Luxury blend and a Tranquility one. Have a look on their website and you could either buy a blend from there (£20) or copy the oils and DIY it.

Lavender, rosemary, eucalyptus -fresh and uplifting
Lavender, neroli- relaxing and soothing
Lavender, neroli and geranium- relaxing and warm
Bergamot and neroli- wake up citrus.

You'll need to check you've got pure neroli as it's a more expensive ingredient than the others so tends to be sold in a carrier oil. If it's in an oil you'll need more drops.

I’m new to this world. I’ve got a steamy puffing machine coming at Xmas. Got know the type. Not sure how to mix in this situation

[PartoftheProbl3m]

Thanks Apollo

[Tidypidy]

We love sandalwood, smells just like the spa at Longleat centre parcs!

[Labobo]

Lavender, geranium and a tiny drop of eucalyptus or rosemary. I want one now!.

[TheSilentStars]

You definitely need to look up the balance of drops- most diffusers come with a few recipes, but as a rule of thumb you'll need more drops of any citrus oil than others, especially if they're in a carrier oil, lavender, despite being wonderful is a relative of rosemary so you can overdo it. Oils like rosemary, eucalyptus etc you need only a few drops or it all turns into toilet duck meets Vicks.

I asked once what the lovely smell at our local spa was - white tea and jasmine apparently

[Seatime]

If you can get to your health store, you could ask an assistant to let you smell the essential oils, if covid allows. It's really down to what you like. Lavender is commonly used for relaxation.

[HoneyWheeler]

Ah man I need the answer to this question too! Am going to try some of these recommendations this morning. I love geranium so maybe that's a nice one to start with. Have got lavender and frankincense in the diffuser at the moment and it's lovely but not quite spa-y

[KatharinaRosalie]

I can't stand lavender so for me it's verbena and lemongrass

[AnaisB]

Cedar wood oil for me. It reminds me of saunas.

[Housewife2010]

Lavender and grapefruit together is a beautiful combination.

[mowglika]

Try lavender, geranium and (less) clary sage - very spa like combination, the clary sage and lavender gives it that slight medicinal edge

[doadeer]

I'd honestly just buy a blend unless you know an essential oil you love. The white company one is great

[ZaraW]

Thai companies do the best blends Panpuri, Than, The Grass etc

@AnaisB

Cedar wood oil for me. It reminds me of saunas.

I love that smell for that reason!

Neal's Yard Aromatherapy Meditation is very subtle.

These are a bit confusing

There's a wellbeing set on qvc but with two different options.
