Williams Sonoma Store Scent "All in One" Blend!



FALL

"Days decrease, and Autumn grows, Autumn in everything"

Robert Browning


Like it or not, Summer is quickly fading but Fall awaits!  I happen to LOVE the Fall and already my internal calendar is adjusting to that fact in the food I'm hungry for and the scents I'm ready to smell again, like cinnamon, wild orange, vanilla etc.  

What about you?



Most of us, if given the chance enjoy strolling through a William Sonoma store.  Have you ever noticed the signature fragrance wafting through?  A little rosemary, some citrus and definitely vanilla.  Ahhhh...I love it!


A simple recipe using Spark Naturals essential oils that can be diffused or sprayed to scent and purify the air.  An "all in one" diffuser/spray blend!

I added cinnamon and clove for spice and health making the fragrance perfect for the holidays too! 

Bonus! Everything you breathe in will benefit you...especially during cold and flu season!

RECIPE
__________________________

Add the EOs to an empty spray bottle...


10 drops Wild Orange
5 drops Clove
5 drops Cinnamon Bark
2 drops Rosemary
7 drops Vanilla Absolute (optional)

Add the rest...

1 1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon Vodka (to emulsify and sweeten but optional)


There you have it, your "all in one" faux Williams Sonoma Store scent blend!  You can spray it or diffuse it...either way, it's ready to go when you are because the water has been added and the EOs have been measured.  

Just pour into your diffuser right from the spray bottle and resist the urge to play Christmas carols :)

Just a thought since I don't have the Vanilla Absolute but I do have homemade vanilla that I used 80 proof vodka to make, to use that in place of the Vodka and Vanilla Absolute...I am new to using E O's
don't know if that would work?

I would definitely try it!

Wondering what Vanilla Absolute is and if you have a source you recommend.

Hi Rebecca,
I've been following your blog all summer before I go back to school and taking down notes- I had already decided to start a 'spell-book' like the one in practical magic.. so my Memere got me a gorgeous leather-bound book for graduation to start me off, it was actually sad how excited I was! My goal was to write down everything I learned and the recipes for the things I could make, and pass it down to one of my children (I'm really looking ahead here, but hey, I like to be prepared, what can I say?)- Anyway, my Memere is the one who really got me interested in the "EO-life" since she's always made her own products and looked to natural remedies. Her main source is Mountain Rose Herbs, I don't know if you've ever heard of or used them, but I figured I'd share my tidbit of wisdom! I see that you buy all your products from different sources and thought this might simplify things a little for you! :)
I also had a question, I was interested in the Oil of the Month Club, but I was wondering if it was something where every month they charge your card and send you the oil, or do you pick and choose which ones you want? Either way it's a great deal, but some of the oils I just don't have much of a use for!
Thank you for your insight, and please keep up the good work! :D

Hi! Is there any other alternative to a diffuser? There is no way I can afford even a $35 one? In the meantime what can I do other than walk around huffing a blue little bottle ;) lol but really what other way? Much appreciation for your thoughts. Thank you.

The spray bottle alternative ~ spritz your home and let the EOs permeate :)

Hi Lindsey, I like your enthusiasm for the EO life :)

The Oil of the Month Club is a monthly charge, yes and, the oils for each month have been pre-selected. Like you say, a heck of a bargain!

I wonder if I put a 1/3 of a vanilla bean and some rosemary in the vodka and infuse for a couple weeks if that would work. By the way I have been using a quart vinegar bottle like this for months, maybe I need to start my own blog, I truly love your blog and have learned so much for you. For Amanda do you have a humidifier? you can use it to diffuse too!

I would like to hear more about using a humidifier for diffusing. Thank you for all of your wonderful information.
