Lavender essential oil is beloved for its calming scent, gentle floral aroma, and therapeutic versatility. But did you know that pairing lavender with other essential oils can elevate its benefits? Whether you're creating a custom diffuser blend or making your own wellness products, knowing which essential oils go with lavender is a game-changer.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the best essential oils that pair beautifully with lavender, and how to use them for relaxation, focus, cleansing, and more. You’ll also find recommendations from our USDA-certified organic essential oil collection at Alize Living—so you can craft blends you can trust.
Why Blend Lavender with Other Essential Oils?
Lavender is gentle, versatile, and harmonizes effortlessly with a wide range of scents—from crisp and clean to deep and earthy. Pairing lavender with other essential oils allows you to:
- Customize your aromatherapy experience
- Target specific wellness goals (stress relief, immunity, sleep, etc.)
- Enhance the therapeutic benefits of both oils
- Create more layered, complex aromas for diffusers, sprays, or skin care
Let’s explore some of the best essential oils to blend with lavender—and exactly how to use them.
1. Tea Tree and Lavender – The Cleansing Duo
One of the best combinations for a refreshing and clarifying blend is lavender and tea tree oil. While lavender calms and soothes, tea tree offers potent antibacterial and purifying properties.
How to Use:
- Diffuse for a clean-smelling home environment
- Add to DIY face masks or toners for oily or acne-prone skin
- Use in homemade cleaning sprays for a natural disinfectant
This pairing is ideal for promoting skin clarity, immune support, and a sense of renewal in your space.
2. Eucalyptus and Lavender – For Breathing Easy
If you're looking for a powerful yet soothing respiratory blend, eucalyptus oil is a perfect match for lavender. Eucalyptus offers a minty-fresh, slightly camphorous scent that supports clear breathing and revitalizes the senses.
How to Use:
- Diffuse during cold and flu season or when you need respiratory support
- Mix with carrier oil for chest rubs
- Add to shower steamers for a spa-like experience
The floral softness of lavender balances the sharpness of eucalyptus, making this a favorite combo for promoting calm while staying mentally alert.
3. Lemongrass and Lavender – Uplifting and Grounding
Want something energizing but not overpowering? Try blending lavender with lemongrass essential oil. Lemongrass has a bright, citrusy aroma that lifts your mood and fights fatigue.
How to Use:
- Diffuse during morning or afternoon slumps
- Add to DIY room sprays for freshening your space
- Blend into massage oil for an uplifting self-care ritual
This duo combines lavender’s grounding properties with lemongrass’s brightness, creating a perfectly balanced mood enhancer.
4. Lavender with Lavender – Yes, Really
It may sound redundant, but not all lavender oils are the same. Combining different types of lavender, such as lavandula angustifolia and lavandula hybrida, can yield a more complex scent profile with varying floral or herbal notes.
Why Use More Than One Lavender?
- You can enhance certain benefits like stress relief or sleep support
- You get richer aromatics in your diffuser blends
- You create your own signature lavender scent
At Alize Living, our Organic Lavender Essential Oil is USDA certified and steam-distilled to preserve purity—perfect as your base oil or to complement other blends.
