Essential oils have so many benefits for your health and well being but they can also be used to make you smell good! Ditch the perfume and all the hidden chemicals and use a natural and pure body mist or perfume made from essential oils. It will probably cost a lot less too!
I never wore perfume or body mist because they always made me sneeze but now I spray on my DIY body mist daily! It smells good and I also benefit from the essential oils aromatically. For instance, I spray my Calming Blend body mist when I am feeling anxious or need to relax.
It’s easy to make a body mist, perfumes are a bit more complex.
As you may know, I prefer easy and that is why I make body mist sprays. For a body mist you simply add 5-10 drops of essential oil to 4 ounces of water and shake well. You can experiment and find the mixture that works for you.
Popular essential oils to use in for a body mist:
- Calming Blend (My Favorite!)
- Invigorating Blend ( My 2nd Favorite)
- Blend for Women
- Grounding Blend
- Lavender
DIY Essential Oils Body Mist Fragrance Mix Ideas:

This scent is fresh, refreshing, clean, and has a hint of musk.

This scent is woodsy, sweet, and citrusy.
Mix #3: cassia, cypress, vetiver.
This is a very sweet and spicy scent.

I love using different scents based on how I am feeling. Also, I get so many compliments on the my “perfume”!

I have essential oils, but I’m not sure how to use many of them. They need to come with a handbook.
I love Serenity all by itself! I know what goes into it but cannot remember at the moment (I was just informed today) so I’m not much help. It is doTerra though and I simply apply it to the bone behind my ear, at the base of my neck, and to my wrists. I have to resist the urge to smear it across my chest like perfume! It is also calming with a surge of invigoration. At night, you can apply it on your feet for calmness and sleep.
