What Your Favorite Essential Oil Says About You

Let’s be honest, your favorite essential oil says more about you than your zodiac sign ever could. It’s basically your scent personality test. The oil you reach for when life gets weird is your truth serum.

Lavender

You swear you’re “low-maintenance,” yet your nightstand looks like a small apothecary explosion. You have seven half-filled journals and an ongoing feud with your own sleep schedule. Still, your friends come to you for advice because somehow, even your chaos smells soothing. People feel calm around you, and you may not even realize it. I bet your favorite food is warm sourdough bread with honey butter or anything baked with a hint of lemon zest.  You love the calm, comforting, and quietly perfect things in life.

 

Lemon

You love a clean house and a good “reset.” You own three planners, all color-coded, but you’re still late to everything because you stopped to reorganize your spices. You smell like fresh laundry and optimism. You are bright, focused, and give everyone a fresh start.  I bet your favorite food is a crisp salad with citrus dressing, grilled fish, or anything with extra zest. 

 

Rose

You talk about “romanticizing your life,” and honestly, you mean it. You own  fancy silk pajamas, burn fancy candles for no reason, and occasionally weep over perfume ads. You lead with your heart. You find beauty in the small details.  You also like the sentimental things in life.  You may love French pastries, rose macarons, or strawberries with whipped cream.  You don’t “eat” you “savor”.

 

Sweet Orange

You’re everyone’s favorite mood boost. You’ve got the kind of personality that makes people want to text you when they see a good meme. Optimism is your love language.  You can find the silver lining in almost anything.  Your house feels like home to everyone that visits. Summer is your favorite season.  I bet you love brunch! Pancakes with fresh fruit, mimosas, and food that feels like a weekend morning.

 

Cedarwood

You’re the grounded one. You love vintage furniture, old fashioned recipes and you are not afraid to stand out. Your home smells like a cabin and you may have made my DIY recipe for Beard Oil or Tattoo Balm.  You seem chill, but you’re probably overthinking everything. I have a feeling you love craft beer and a good espresso stand. Do you love hearty soups, roasted veggies, and sourdough bread? I bet you love simple, earthy meals.

 

 Patchouli

You’ve saged your house more times than you’ve vacuumed it. You “don’t believe in coincidences,” and somehow you’re always right. Your energy is half mystic, half music festival. You smell like good intentions and possibly sandalwood incense. You love Farmer’s Market and probably get your bath soap there and local honey! You are drawn to nature and love perfume that have a dominate patchouli note.  Do you crave globally inspired cuisine, like curry, falafel or anything that tastes like adventure? You eat out of curiosity.

 

Sandalwood

You’ve mastered the art of mystery. You say you don’t do drama while being the calm, magnetic center of it. You smell like confidence and unfinished poetry. You prefer deep conversations over small talk. You turned your bedroom into a sanctuary.  You don’t try to be intriguing, but somehow you just are.  I bet you love mushroom risotto, truffle pasta and dark chocolate.

 

Vanilla

You’re sweet and comfort is your superpower.  You bake when stressed and flirt without realizing it. You love cozy nights, compliments, and chick flicks with happy endings. You are nurturing, dependable and are quite nostalgic for simpler times. People trust you with their stories and secrets.  I bet you love homemade cookies, vanilla lattes and sweet cozy desserts.  

 

Ylang-Ylang

You feel everything all at once. You call it “being intuitive.” You’ve reinvented yourself at least four times. You are not afraid to feel things deeply.  You bring a spark wherever you go and have an intuitive sense of what people need.  Life never feels dull, it always feels alive. I bet you love bold and beautiful foods, like tropical fruit, Thai noodles, or a good grazing board.

 

Frankincense

You’re the old soul of the group. You say things like “protect your energy” and actually mean it. You meditate, journal, and occasionally online shop for things labeled “ritual.” You’re deeply calm and very grounded in your values.  You bring depth to every space you enter.  I have a feeling you love Mediterranean dishes, figs, hummus and warm pita bread with olive oil. 

 

Peppermint

You’re caffeine with legs. You wake up early, run on quad espressos, and can’t stand clutter (mental or otherwise). You like things that wake up your senses and keep you moving forward. Your enthusiasm is very contagious.  You are always well intentioned. You probably love fresh salads, dark chocolate or anything minty. 

 

The Essential Oil Blends

You don’t have a favorite. You “go with your intuition” and mix whatever calls to you. You trust your mood.  You’re spontaneous and creative. You are well rounded and fun. You love fusion cuisine.
