The Delight Of The First Spring Flowers
I don’t know anyone who does not feel a thrill of delight at the sight of the first spring flowers.
I know after a long, dark, dank winter, those bright purple violets and pure white snowdrops gladden my heart and lift my Spirit.
Witch hazel fireworks, bright purple violets, pure as-snow snowdrops, bright cheery narcissus, fragrant daphne, and dainty viburnum blossoms, are the first blooms to herald the onset of Spring and wave goodbye to the long, cold Winter.
Those gorgeous heralds are then followed by vibrant crocuses, super fragrant hyacinths, bubblegum pink bergenias, daffodils of all shapes and sizes, and the jaunty color-changing pulmonaria.
Then tree and fruit blossoms begin their magnificent show until petal confetti falls from the sky on the Spring breeze. Magnolias, take center stage in gardens everywhere, looking like branches filled with angels. While tulips and bluebells festoon the grass underneath them.
Spring flower scents are some of the most ethereal and they can be hard to capture. Making them some of the most sought-after, expensive, and exclusive essential oils and absolutes in the world. Let us dip a toe into this world, but also keep our dreamy feet firmly on the ground.

Control The Cost
When it comes to making your own Diffuser Blends For Early Spring, feeling in control of the process is an empowering feeling to have.
Exercise control from the very first spark of concept right through to its final production, which is key if you are keen on making more eco-conscious and natural-based choices.
Some essential oils and absolutes stretch even deep pockets and they will be unattainable for many of us. Thankfully, we will also be looking at much more affordable essential oils for designing your Diffuser Blends For Early Spring.
The beauty of learning how to make your own diffuser blends is it gives you much more scope and control.
Best Essential Oils For Diffuser Blends For Early Spring
A Chance For Something Extraordinary and Glorious
Spring flowers are some of the most elusive and ethereal fragrances to capture in essential oils and absolutes. It is a testament to decades of dedication and hard work of the producers and distillers that we have available to us today.
Absolutes are an indulgent treat usually reserved for religious ceremonies and special occasions like weddings. They command a much higher price than most essential oils because of the huge number of flowers needed and the short number of weeks the flowers are available. But if you are looking for something truly evocative of spring or for a rare and special treat, you might consider one or two of these most precious oils. They would be perfect for Easter and Spring celebrations as well as bringing sublime, ethereal fragrance to yourself and your home.
Jonquil Absolute or French Narcissus (Narcissus jonquilla)
Jonquil Absolute is extracted from the French Narcissus jonquilla, gorgeous yellow flowers that nod their jaunty heads throughout the Gallic countryside.
It is highly sought after in the perfume industry for its rich, pervading fragrance. Yet, it has that ethereal edge too, so just when you think you have it, it’s gone, despite its initial tenacity.
Jonquille Absolute is best used in small amounts, to uplift and lend its floral/green fragrance to the overall scent profile of the blend. It is beloved in the soapmaking making and perfume industry as it proves an excellent fixative, adding its own rich, sweet note.
Jonquil Absolute Oil also has medicinal actions that can be useful in supporting the body in pain. Aromatherapists use its anti-inflammatory actions to relieve muscle spasms. It also has constituents with antibacterial properties and balancing sebum production. Ideal for reducing skin breakouts and soothing skin.
Emotionally it uplifts, soothes, and wraps us in a shroud of security. Jonquil makes us feel like things are going to get better.
Soothing, cooling, and mildly sedative, Jonquil Absolute is perfect for relaxation, meditation, and finding bliss.
Saffron Oleoresin (Crocus sativa)
Saffron Oleoresin is extracted from the tiny stigmas of Crocus sativa flowers. This tiny little lilac Spring flower is harvested for its thread-like bounty and is the most valuable ‘Queen of the Spice World’.
Saffron Oleoresin is often considered the very definition of luxury because it is extracted from this incredibly valuable spice.
Saffron oleoresin is a base note that clings to the skin ages. It is a bright, vivacious, deep glorious orange color, like a liquid sunset. Its scent notes are powerful, rich, warming, and intense. Despite its cost, it is extremely popular in the perfume industry because even the tiniest amounts bring richness and intensity to a scent profile.
It gives off Leather notes and even a slight saltiness of the ocean. However, you’ll need to get it out of the bottle and expose it to the air, to experience its full aromatic beauty. In the bottle, it just smells sweet and light.
There is little else that can replicate its sensuous fragrance, and it has a certain chemical effect on the skin which seems to make it ‘bloom’ and given our own natural skin compositions, it could act and smell differently for each one of us.
Narcissus Absolute Oil (Narcissus poeticus L)
Jonquil and Narcissus Absolutes are both solvents extracted from flowers in the Narcissus family but from different species.
- Jonquil Absolute or French Narcissus Oil is from (Narcissus jonquilla)
- Narcissus Absolute Oil comes from (Narcissus poeticus L)
Narcissus is widely used in perfumery. It has a stunning sweet herbaceous fragrance that is laced with intense floral undertones. It has centuries of perfume tradition and has been used across the ancient and modern world. Roman perfumers made 'narcissum', divine and complex perfumes that would have been used in temple offerings to the goddess Proserpina, who was snatched away to the underworld when she went to pluck a narcissus.
In India, Narcissus oil is used to adorn the body before praying in the temple.
The Arabians recommend narcissus oil as an aphrodisiac, as well as a cure for baldness, but that claim still requires research.
Its narcotic effects have profound actions on our nervous system. It can be wonderfully soothing and so can aid in getting a decent night's sleep, but do go easy with how much you use. If you err on the side of too much, you might just find its aphrodisiac effects kicking in!
Intoxicating and heady, it can give you a headache if you use it too much, so be delicate using this one.
Hyacinth Absolute Oil (Hyacinthus orientalis)
Most Hyacinth Absolutes tend to come from Italy and it is usually solvent extracted from the fresh flowers, as it is another one of those ethereal notes to capture.
I just LOVE the aroma of Hyacinth Absolute, with the initially sweet, green aroma followed by soft, powdery, floral undertones. It falls into being a middle or heart note so can be very versatile to blend with.
Hyacinth Absolute Oil is widely used in the luxury perfume business, most often for creating oriental and floral-based perfumes, because of its exotic and heady fragrance.
When used in aromatherapy, it refreshes and invigorates tired minds. Lovely for stress-related conditions, according to Lawless (1992) it promotes creativity, especially in the right-hand side of the brain.
More Cost-Effective Essential Oils For Diffuser Blends For Early Spring
However, those gorgeous Spring flower absolutes are beyond the pocket of most people and you and I live in the real world so let’s look at how we can use more cost-effective essential oils to create a similar ambiance in our Diffuser Blends For Early Spring
Moving Away From Spice
We are bombarded by spice oils and fragrances through the winter. Cinnamon and Clove dominate the fragrant landscape. Now, we move away from warming, comforting aromas to fresh, green, delicate florals in our Diffuser Blends For Early Spring.
What do you love about Spring? New growth, hope, the signs of the world coming back to life, new life, and new beginnings. What essential oils speak of that to you?
Florals
Diffuser Blends For Early Spring need to be either wonderfully delicate or intoxicating and heady. One of the first flowers to poke her gorgeous little purple head up in my garden is my Wild Violet, and Violet Leaf Absolute has all the wonderful fresh green scent to evoke her presence.
Rose Geranium and Rose can be used to create that floral delicacy or come in swinging and use Ylang-Ylang for something much more intoxicating and heady.
Citrus
By the time it rolls around, we want a huge burst of freshness from our Diffuser Blends For Early Spring. Citrus oils are ideal for creating bright, uplifting, clean, fresh aromas.
Stick to the clean fresh Orange fragrances of Bergamot, Mandarin, Petitgrain, Sweet Orange, and Tangerine. They uplift you beautifully and bring their happy, cherry energies to your blends.
Don’t be afraid to step out of the ‘Orange Zone’ and get all zesty and mouthwatering with essential oils like Grapefruit, Lemon, and Lime. If you want to try something a bit different, plump for the fresh, joyful experience of Yuzu or Kaffir Lime
Grasses
Grasses lend that gorgeous aroma of fresh green to you Diffuser Blends For Early Spring.
You need that green aspect for the overall scent profile to feel fresh, vibrant, and welcoming.
Citronella and Lemongrass have that wonderful citrus edge to their aromas, adding yet another layer of freshness.
Yet, oils like Palmarosa have a more floral, almost rose-like aroma, adding to that delicate floral aspect that fits so perfectly in your Diffuser Blends For Early Spring.
Herbs
Capitalize on the glory of fresh green herbs to make incredible Diffuser Blends For Early Spring.
Melissa (ka Lemon Balm) is one of the first perennial herbs to appear in my garden in the Spring. Soon after the Violets and before the Snowdrops you can see her pushing through the soft rich soil and leaf mold. She is expensive but offers an incredible fragrance that nothing else can replicate.
Basil and Clary Sage are wonderfully fragrant green notes. As does Spearmint’s ice-cold gorgeousness.
Trees and Shrubs
When it comes to Tree and Shrub essential oils for your Diffuser Blends For Early Spring, I could be here all day. They are some of my favorites.
Remember, we are thinking clean and green and trying to stay away from the rich warm woods that we have been using all winter.
Plump for the divine gray-green coolness of Eucalyptus, and if you fancy it with a citrus twist maybe it is the perfect time to use your Lemon Eucalyptus, even a Lemon Tea Tree would not go amiss here either. Sticking with the citrus theme, there is little more uplifting and joyful than Litsea Cubeba to raise your spirits and welcome the arrival of Spring.
One of my favorite things about being out and about in Spring is that you can see the Silver Birch's bare twigs and branches turn almost a hue of browny purple. I always like to think it is because it is the time that the sap rises too. Whether it is or not remains to be seen.
If you have never tried Sweet Birch essential oil, then now the time is ripe. You do need to be a little mindful in blending because it can have almost a medicinal aroma. If you blend it with a delicate floral top note and deep earthy note like Patchouli it is something sublime. In my twenties, this was my favorite essential oil in the world.
Don’t forget about the amazingly sweet, fresh green, and resinous aroma of Dwarf Pine. That can add a beautiful undertone to your Diffuser Blends For Early Spring
