The Best Floral Essential Oils to Add to Your Collection

Essential oils are highly-concentrated oils extracted from various parts of flowers and 
plants, including roots, leaves, flowers, and fruit peels. There are many varieties of 
essential oils, but one of our favorites are the florals. These often come from flowers 
and flowering plants.

Here are some of the best floral essential oils to choose from.


Uses for Floral Essential Oils

Floral essential oils are just like any other essential oil, where you have a lot of amazing 
ways to use them and benefit from them. From putting them in a diffuser to making your 
own self-care products with them, you will never run out of ideas. 

But the floral varieties also have some unique benefits for specific types of uses, which 
is what we’re going to talk about here:

Create a scented spritz for linens and clothes – Floral essential oils are the perfect 
choice when you want to have scented linens, towels, or even clothes. You can fill up a 
spray bottle with water, then add 10-15 drops of your favorite essential oil. Use that to 
spray on any linens, particularly your bed pillow for relaxation, and in your underwear 
drawer with exotic scents like jasmine.

Add the oils to your bath – The great thing about using them in the bath is that they 
don’t usually need to be diluted as much, since they are going in water. However, be 
careful not to have direct contact with the oil itself, so add it to the water, not directly on 
your skin while you are in the bath. 

Make your own potpourri – You can also make your own potpourri, which will smell 
much lighter thanks to the high-quality essential oils, instead of store-bought potpourri 
with its artificial scents. All you need to do is take your flowers and leaves for the 
potpourri and add them to a baking sheet. Spritz on a combination of water with about 
10 drops of your oil and bake it for 2 hours or longer.


Chamomile

A very popular floral essential oil you can get is chamomile. You have probably had 
chamomile tea to soothe your nerves, but it has so many more uses than that. 
Chamomile is a flower that typically blooms in the summertime, often found in fields of 
wildflowers. It has many amazing healing properties, including improving your digestion 
and easing an upset stomach, helping with anxiety and restlessness, boosting your 
mood, and even helping with skin conditions like eczema.


Lavender

The next floral essential oil you definitely want in your collection is lavender, which is a 
universally adored essential oil. This is both due to the light and floral scent of lavender, 
and how many healing properties and health benefits it contains. If you have anxiety or 
a lot of stress in your life, lavender will do wonders with helping you to relax. Even if you 
don’t suffer from anxiety, it can still help you feel more calm and improve your quality of 
sleep. Lavender is also great for migraines and other minor aches and pains.

If you want to blend your lavender with other oils, consider geranium or cedarwood.


Bergamot

Believe it or not, bergamot is also considered a floral essential oil, though its scent is 
both floral and citrus. This is often combined with citrus scents like orange and cypress, 
but works amazingly well with any of the other floral essential oils on this list. With 
bergamot, you get many of the calming effects that other floral essential oils provide 
you, including helping to ease restlessness and fears related to your anxiety, calming 
your body and might, and giving you a nice boost in your immune system. 


Jasmine

When speaking of floral essential oils, jasmine is one that often comes to mind. It is a 
very exotic and alluring scent on the warm and sultry end of the spectrum. Jasmine is 
used often in perfume, but it also has many healing properties and benefits that you 
might not be aware of. Boost your energy, feel more confident, and use jasmine as an 
aphrodisiac. 


Geranium

Last on our list of floral essential oils is geranium, anther wonderful flower that makes a 
lovely essential oil scent. Geranium is a bright pink flower that is native to South Africa, 
but has made its way to Europe and parts of the Americas. It has a light, floral scent that 
is most similar to rose, and is amazing for both mental and physical healing. 

Geranium blends well with many different oils, including lavender, clary sage, and 
orange.

Whether you choose to use individual floral scents or get a blend for your diffuser, there 
are many uses for these amazing oils. Just remember not to put them directly on your 
skin without diluting with a carrier oil.
