Finding the perfect aroma is like pulling on your favorite sweater: it’s cozy, comforting, and imbued with good memories, which is why we created Sweater Weather. A blend of warm, woodsy, and earthy notes, with Sweater Weather, it’s always the perfect time to cozy up.

#10 GINGER FLOWER

This unique blend offers a balanced fusion of floral bouquets and exotic spices, creating an aroma that combines softness with strength. If you’re looking for a unique spicy fall aroma, Ginger Flower is your blend.

Essential Oils vs. Scented Candles

Diffusing essential oils offers a healthier alternative to burning scented candles, which may contain synthetic fragrances and harmful chemicals like phthalates and paraffin. These substances can release toxic fumes when burned, potentially irritating your respiratory system or triggering allergies. In contrast, diffusing fall essential oils like Patchouli, Basil, and Clove-Bud not only fills your space with natural, therapeutic aromas but also purifies the air and helps prevent the spread of germs. Essential oils act as a natural air freshener, offering benefits such as reducing stuffiness and promoting clearer breathing—something candles simply can't achieve.

With an essential oil diffuser, such as our Diamond or Terrazzo, you can enjoy the full, healthful properties of these seasonal favorites without the risks associated with toxic candle fumes. Diffusers preserve the integrity of the oils, allowing you to customize mist settings for the perfect intensity of aroma. By choosing to diffuse instead of burn candles, you're opting for a cleaner, safer way to experience the comforting and immune-boosting benefits of essential oils this fall.
