Eucalyptus essential oil is fresh and unmistakable - cool, green and camphor-bright. It is the scent most people associate with a spa, a steam room or a freshly cleaned space.
What eucalyptus smells like
Sharp, clean and cooling, with a camphoraceous, slightly medicinal freshness and a green undertone. It is crisp and penetrating - the smell of cool, clear air.
Simple ways to use it
- Diffuse it for a fresh, clean room scent - 3 to 5 drops.
- Add a drop to a bowl of hot water for a simple scented steam (eyes closed, kept at a safe distance).
- Use it in a surface spray for a clean, fresh scent.
Eucalyptus is strong. Keep it well away from young children and pets, use it sparingly, dilute properly for skin, and avoid the eyes. Never swallow it.
What eucalyptus pairs with
- With peppermint for a cool, sharp, spa-fresh blend.
- With lemon for a clean, bright lift.
- With pine for a fresh, forest-clean scent.
