Earthy
The earthy essential oil scent family is composed of fragrances that are similar to those in the herbaceous, woody, floral, and resinous families. However, they do have their distinct differences as they can be very powerful scents with hints of floral and sweet yet masculine qualities.

Essential oils included in this family are patchouli, vetiver, and angelica root.

These powerful natural essences can ease anxious feelings, as well as offer grounding and peaceful sensations to those who use them. Healthwise, these earthy scents can reduce inflammation and relieve painful tension headaches.
