Young Living’s essential oil blend, Stress Away is by far my favorite blend EVER. I’ve already remade this blend 3 times and making today a 4th bottle! It’s a vanilla lovers dream. I have put it in all my DIY skincare products I’ve made lately and even made a roll on to wear it as a perfume. It has warm, comforting notes of vanilla with subtle citrus and lavender top notes. There is a woodsy base note with a slight hint of cinnamon. It may seem like an odd combination but trust me, if you like vanilla, you’ll love Stress Away. Honestly the name doesn’t do it justice-it needs a more exotic name.
Since I have remade this essential oil blend I have experimented with adding more lavender here, a little more lime there and honestly, there’s no variation of proportions that mess it up. Vanilla is a strong scent and as long as it makes up the largest amount of drops, your blend will be fine.
If you are very familiar with the original blend, copaiba is the essential oil the blend contains the most of. However, the blend contains vanilla, not vanilla absolute or vanilla oleoresin.
My recipe is for 15ml but I will also give you a recipe for 5ml in case you’d like to try it first.

You might be wondering why make your own when you can just buy it on Amazon or from a YL dealer? Well, you totally can buy the original but I diffuse a lot and as stated earlier have already gone through 3 DIY bottles and just made a 4th. While spending the money on 6 essential oils upfront may seem like a lot, I am definitely saving money since I love this blend so much. Plus, hopefully you have a few of the oils already.
I have all my YL essential oil blend dupes all in one place now for easy access! Which is your favorite?
