7 Essential Oils that Men Love

Essential oils have so much to offer men, and many oils have both the masculine fragrances AND the properties to help support their health and wellness.

Let’s take a quick look at some of the essential oils with manly aromas, from single oils to a DIY blend or two.

Black pepper

Black pepper essential oil has a spicy, woody aroma popular with men.

Its properties:

• support his body when faced with environmental and seasonal threats
• help to support healthy digestion
• create a warm sensation when applied topically, making it a perfect essential oil for a soothing and relaxing massage (dilute a few drops in a carrier oil)
• help to relieve his anxious feelings and promote grounded, calm feelings at the end of a stressful day. This calming property is further enhanced when combined with juniper berry and cedarwood oils
• can help provide a quick pick-me-up for the afternoon  
• the warming sensation can even help keep his feet warm on a cold day by topical application of a diluted drop to them

For warm, masculine aromas black pepper oil combines well with rosemary, cardamom, marjoram, rose, and lavender essential oils.

Cedarwood

Cedarwood has a woody aroma, and can be used help maintain energy and vitality while working out, exercising, and physical work by massaging a few drops diluted in a carrier oil onto the chest area.
