How to Choose Your dōTERRA Single Essential Oils

With so many dōTERRA single essential oils to choose from, where do you start? Whether you're looking for a familiar favourite or something completely different, your personal aroma preferences are a great place to begin. From fresh citrus and delicate florals to warm spices and rich woody scents, there's plenty to explore.

Explore the Different Essential Oil Aroma Families

Essential oils can be grouped into aromatic families, making it easier to discover oils with similar characteristics. While every oil has its own distinctive scent, these groups are a helpful starting point when choosing individual oils or experimenting with your own blends.

Citrus Essential Oils: Bright, fresh and often sweet, citrus oils are popular for their lively aromas. Lemon and Lime have crisp, zesty notes, while Wild Orange and Tangerine are sweeter and fruitier. Grapefruit has a fresh, slightly tangy character, and Bergamot offers a more complex citrus aroma with subtle floral notes.
Floral Essential Oils: From the familiar softness of Lavender to the rich, exotic aroma of Ylang Ylang, floral oils offer plenty of variety. Geranium has a distinctive rosy, green scent, while Roman Chamomile is softer, with gentle fruity and herbal notes.
Mint Essential Oils: Peppermint has a strong, cool and penetrating aroma, while Spearmint is generally sweeter and softer. Both are distinctive oils that can bring a fresh mint character to aromatic blends.
Herbal Essential Oils: If you enjoy the fragrance of fresh herbs, this family is worth exploring. Rosemary has a fresh, aromatic character, Basil is sweet and herbaceous, and Thyme has a stronger, more pronounced herbal scent. Marjoram offers a softer, warmer alternative.
Woody & Forest Essential Oils: Cedarwood has a warm, dry woody aroma, while Sandalwood is smoother, richer and slightly sweet. Cypress and Siberian Fir bring fresh, forest-like notes, making this an interesting family for anyone who enjoys the smell of trees and the outdoors.
Spice Essential Oils: Warm, rich and full of character, spice oils include Cinnamon Bark, Clove, Ginger and Cardamom. Cinnamon Bark and Clove have particularly strong, familiar aromas, while Ginger adds warmth and Cardamom brings a sweet, spicy complexity. A little can go a long way when creating aromatic blends.
Resinous & Earthy Essential Oils: Frankincense and Myrrh offer distinctive resinous aromas, while Copaiba has a softer, woody character. Patchouli is rich and earthy, and Vetiver has a deep, complex scent with earthy and woody notes. These oils are particularly interesting for customers who enjoy less conventional fragrances.

Not sure where to begin? Choose a couple of oils from an aroma family you already enjoy, then try something from a contrasting family. Combining citrus with woody notes, for example, can create a very different aromatic experience from using either oil on its own.

How Will You Use Your Essential Oils?

Thinking about how you plan to use your oils can help narrow down the choices. Many customers enjoy single essential oils in a diffuser, where they can appreciate an individual aroma or experiment with their own combinations. Citrus oils can bring a fresh, fruity fragrance to a room, while woody and resinous oils offer deeper, more complex scents.

Some dōTERRA single oils are also suitable for topical use when applied according to their individual directions. If you're interested in this option, check the product information for the recommended application method, dilution requirements and precautions. Not every essential oil is suitable for every use, and directions can vary considerably between products.

If you enjoy experimenting with fragrance, single oils give you the flexibility to create your own combinations. You might start with two or three complementary aromas and adjust the proportions until you find a blend you enjoy.

Single Essential Oils vs Essential Oil Blends

One of the main advantages of buying individual essential oils is flexibility. A single oil allows you to enjoy its distinctive aroma by itself or combine it with other oils to create your own fragrance combinations.

Ready-made essential oil blends take a different approach, combining several oils into a carefully formulated aromatic profile. They're a convenient choice if you prefer a finished combination without having to experiment with individual ingredients.

Neither option is necessarily better. It simply depends on whether you enjoy creating your own combinations or prefer the convenience of a ready-made blend. Explore the dōTERRA Essential Oil Blends range if you'd like to compare the options.

Choosing the Right Bottle Size

Most dōTERRA single essential oils are available in either 5mL or 15mL bottles, depending on the oil. Some of the more specialised and premium oils, including Melissa and Sandalwood, are supplied in smaller 5mL bottles, while familiar favourites such as Lavender, Lemon and Peppermint come in 15mL bottles.

If you're buying an oil you already know and use regularly, a larger bottle can be a practical choice. Smaller bottles are useful for more specialised oils or those you expect to use occasionally. Remember that essential oils are highly concentrated, so even a small bottle can provide plenty of aromatic use.

Which dōTERRA Single Essential Oil Should You Choose?

Sometimes the hardest decision isn't choosing an essential oil aroma family, but deciding between two oils that seem quite similar. What's the difference between Peppermint and Spearmint? Is Lemon or Lime a better match for your preferences? And how do Frankincense and Myrrh compare?

We've compared some popular dōTERRA single essential oils to help you discover the differences in their aromas and find the ones that appeal to you.

Essential Oils	What's the Difference?	Which Should You Choose?
Lavender vs Roman Chamomile	Lavender has a familiar, soft floral aroma with gentle herbal notes. Roman Chamomile is sweeter, with a distinctive fruity, apple-like character.	Choose Lavender for a classic floral fragrance or Roman Chamomile if you prefer something softer, sweeter and a little different.
Peppermint vs Spearmint	Peppermint has a strong, cool and penetrating mint aroma. Spearmint is generally sweeter, softer and less intense.	Choose Peppermint for a bold mint fragrance or Spearmint for a gentler, sweeter alternative.
Lemon vs Lime	Both have bright citrus aromas, but Lemon is crisp and distinctly lemony, while Lime has a sharper, zestier character.	Choose Lemon for a familiar fresh citrus scent or Lime if you enjoy something a little more tangy.
Wild Orange vs Tangerine	Wild Orange has a bright, sweet orange aroma. Tangerine is also sweet and fruity, but generally has a softer, more delicate citrus character.	Choose Wild Orange for a familiar orange fragrance or Tangerine for a lighter, sweeter citrus variation.
Frankincense vs Myrrh	Frankincense has a warm, resinous aroma with woody and slightly fresh notes. Myrrh is deeper, richer and more earthy, with a distinctive balsamic character.	Choose Frankincense for a more versatile resinous fragrance or Myrrh if you enjoy deeper, heavier aromatic notes.
Cedarwood vs Sandalwood	Cedarwood has a dry, warm woody aroma, while Sandalwood is smoother, creamier and slightly sweet.	Choose Cedarwood for a traditional woody fragrance or Sandalwood for a softer, richer aromatic experience.
Tea Tree vs Eucalyptus	Tea Tree has a fresh, herbal and slightly medicinal aroma. Eucalyptus has a sharper, more penetrating scent with distinctive fresh, camphor-like notes.	Choose Tea Tree if you enjoy herbal aromas or Eucalyptus if you prefer a stronger, fresher fragrance.
Rosemary vs Basil	Rosemary has a fresh, green and aromatic scent with slightly woody notes. Basil is sweeter and more herbaceous, with a recognisable culinary herb character.	Choose Rosemary for a crisp herbal fragrance or Basil for something warmer and sweeter.
Grapefruit vs Bergamot	Grapefruit has a bright, tangy citrus aroma with a slightly bitter edge. Bergamot combines fresh citrus notes with a softer, floral complexity.	Choose Grapefruit for a lively citrus fragrance or Bergamot if you enjoy a more sophisticated citrus-floral combination.
Patchouli vs Vetiver	Patchouli has a rich, earthy aroma with sweet, woody undertones. Vetiver is deeper and drier, with smoky, woody and earthy notes.	Choose Patchouli for a sweeter earthy fragrance or Vetiver if you prefer a drier, more intense aromatic profile.

There's no right or wrong choice when it comes to personal fragrance preferences. If you already enjoy one oil, trying another from the same aromatic family can be a great way to discover something new. You might even find that you enjoy combining the two in a diffuser, provided both products are suitable for that use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best dōTERRA single essential oils for beginners?

Lavender, Lemon, Wild Orange and Peppermint are popular starting points because their aromas are familiar and easy to recognise. Lavender offers soft floral notes, Lemon and Wild Orange provide different citrus fragrances, and Peppermint has a distinctive mint aroma. Start with a couple of oils you already like the smell of, rather than buying a large collection straight away.

What is the difference between dōTERRA single essential oils and blends?

Single essential oils come from one botanical source, while blends combine multiple oils into a finished formulation. Singles are ideal if you enjoy individual aromas or creating your own combinations. Ready-made blends are convenient when you prefer a fragrance combination that has already been developed for you.

Can I use dōTERRA single essential oils in a diffuser?

Many dōTERRA single essential oils can be used in compatible diffusers, provided their individual Australian product directions support aromatic use. Popular diffuser choices include Lavender, Lemon, Wild Orange and Peppermint. You can enjoy an oil on its own or combine compatible oils to create different fragrances. Always follow the directions for your diffuser and the oils you're using.

Can I mix different dōTERRA single essential oils together?

Yes, you can create your own aromatic combinations using oils suitable for the intended application. Citrus oils often complement woody aromas, while floral oils can work beautifully alongside citrus or herbal notes. Start with small quantities and adjust the balance to suit your preferences, keeping in mind that stronger aromas such as Peppermint, Clove and Vetiver can quickly dominate a blend.

Can dōTERRA single essential oils be applied directly to the skin?

Some dōTERRA single essential oils have directions for topical application, but not all oils are suitable for direct skin contact. Certain oils require dilution, and individual products may have additional precautions. Always check the Australian product directions before applying an essential oil to your skin. If you prefer a convenient pre-diluted format, explore the dōTERRA Touch range.

How should I store my dōTERRA essential oils?

Keep essential oil bottles tightly closed and store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Avoid leaving them in hot cars or near windows where temperatures fluctuate. Proper storage helps preserve their aromatic characteristics. Always keep essential oils out of reach of children and follow any additional storage instructions on the product label.

Can I buy dōTERRA essential oils without becoming a member?

Absolutely. You can purchase genuine dōTERRA single essential oils from Shop Naturally without becoming a dōTERRA Wellness Advocate or joining a membership program. As an Official Australian Stockist, we make it easy to shop the range online and purchase individual oils whenever you need them.

Practical Tips for Using dōTERRA Single Essential Oils

A small, thoughtfully chosen collection is often more useful than a large group of oils you rarely reach for. These practical habits can make it easier to learn what you enjoy and create aromatic combinations that feel personal to you.

Start with a few contrasting aromas

Choose oils according to scents you genuinely like and how you intend to use them. A citrus oil, a floral or mint oil and a woody or resinous oil will give you noticeably different aromatic profiles to explore. Once you know which families you prefer, it becomes easier to add more specialised oils with purpose.

Test diffuser combinations in small steps

When creating a diffuser blend, begin with a simple combination of two oils rather than mixing many at once. Add more pronounced mint, spice, herbal or earthy aromas gradually so they don't overwhelm softer notes. Use the amount specified for your diffuser and stay within the individual directions for each oil.

Keep a record of combinations you enjoy

It's surprisingly easy to forget the balance of a blend that worked well. Note the oils and proportions you used, along with any changes you'd make next time. This also helps you understand which oils you use most frequently before replacing a bottle or expanding your collection.

Keep your oils organised

When you're experimenting with several oils, keep the bottles together and return each cap to its original bottle. A small storage box or organiser makes it easier to find your favourites and protects bottles from being knocked over. Keep your collection away from heat and direct sunlight.

Check the directions for each oil

Not every essential oil is used in the same way. Some are suitable for aromatic use, others have specific topical directions, and certain oils require additional precautions. Always follow the current Australian product information, particularly when trying an unfamiliar oil or a new application method.
