Prices as shown on 3 October 2026. Aqualine Saunas and Leisurequip do not say whether their prices include VAT. For Finnmark Sauna we recorded the displayed price and didn't check for a VAT statement. “From” is the shop's own starting price for a listing sold in more than one size. “Dose per litre” is worked out from the amounts the listing gives. “Was” is the seller's own higher price, shown beside the current one. Wording in quotation marks is the seller's own, as we read it; it is not our claim.

The price per 10 ml runs from £0.20 for the big bottles to £8.60 for the 10 ml concentrates, but the doses differ just as much, so compare those too. Where the listing gives the dose in millilitres, a litre of scented water costs 33p with Emendo’s 500 ml bottle and 75p to £1.50 with Narvi’s 100 ml bottle. What they’re made from. Finnmark’s listing for Emendo’s 500 ml scent says it is “made with 100% pure eucalyptus essential oil and contains no synthetic fragrances”. Aqualine’s listing says Harvia’s sauna fragrances contain essential oils. The Narvi listing calls its scent a scent oil and doesn’t say what it is made from.

How much eucalyptus scent to use

As each listing gives it:

Scent Directions as listed
Rento, 10 ml “A few drops in the sauna water are enough; each ladle over the hot stones carries the scent evenly through the room. The 10 ml bottle is a true concentrate, made to be diluted, so a single bottle covers many sessions.”
Osmia, 50 ml “Mix two to three capfuls with around 5 litres of fresh water in your sauna bucket, then ladle the mixture slowly over the hot stones; the slower you pour, the more enveloping the steam.”
Emendo, 10 ml “Mix three to six drops of the concentrate into a ladle of water and pour it over the hot stones; the rising steam carries the fragrance evenly through the sauna. The 10 ml bottle is concentrated, so a few drops are enough for each pour.”
Emendo, 500 ml “Add half a decilitre (50 ml) to around 3 litres of water, then throw the mixture over the hot stones; the rising steam carries the aroma evenly through the room.”
Rento, 400 ml “The 400 ml emulsion is concentrated, so two to four capfuls in a full bucket is enough for a long session.”
Narvi, 100 ml “Mix 5–10 ml into 1 litre of fresh water in your sauna bucket, then ladle the mixture slowly over the hot stones; the slower you pour, the more enveloping the löyly.”
Harvia, 400 ml “Mix with water and apply to the sauna stones for a fresh, aromatic sauna experience. 1 x 400ml.”

The directions are the retailers’ wording, read on 3 October 2026; the label on the bottle is what counts. The doses listed for other scents are on how to use essential oils in a sauna.

Prices as shown on 3 October 2026. We saw no VAT wording on the Tisserand, Nikura and Neal's Yard Remedies pages we read. The listings for 3 of these items didn't show whether they were in stock. Wording in quotation marks is the seller's own, as we read it; it is not our claim.

Three species appear in these listings:

  • Eucalyptus globulus: both Tisserand oils and one at Neal’s Yard Remedies, from Spain or China as stated. Nikura’s safety data sheet gives the same species for its Eucalyptus (Chinese) oil.
  • Eucalyptus radiata: Neal’s Yard Remedies, from South Africa.
  • Eucalyptus citriodora (lemon eucalyptus): Nikura, whose listing mentions its “strong citrus notes”.

None of these product pages mentions sauna use. Tisserand’s eucalyptus guide says eucalyptus should be used in moderation and never neat on the skin. All the oils we recorded, with every other scent, are on essential oils for a sauna.

Eucalyptus oil on sauna stones

No. HUUM’s DROP heater manual says to use sauna fragrances and oils only in the steam water, and that poured undiluted onto the stones they can catch fire. Tylö’s US Sense Sport manual warns that fragrant essences may ignite if poured directly onto the stones. Harvia’s Cilindro Pro manual says only aromas designed for sauna water may be used.

Eucalyptus oil carries fire warnings. Nikura’s safety data sheet for its Eucalyptus (Chinese) oil gives a flash point of 45.5 °C, classes it as “Flammable liquid and vapour” and says to keep it away from heat, sparks, open flames and hot surfaces. Both Tisserand eucalyptus listings carried a flammable warning in the text we read.

Eucalyptus sauna questions

Can you use eucalyptus oil in a sauna?

The heater manuals we've read that mention scent put it in the water. HUUM's DROP manual says to use sauna fragrances and oils only in the steam water, and Harvia's Cilindro Pro manual says only aromas designed for sauna water may be used. We list 8 eucalyptus scents sold for sauna water.

How much eucalyptus do you put in sauna water?

It depends on the product. Finnmark's listing for Narvi's eucalyptus scent says 5 to 10 ml in a litre of water; its listing for Emendo's 500 ml bottle says 50 ml in around 3 litres; and its listing for Emendo's 10 ml concentrate says three to six drops in a ladle of water.

Can you put eucalyptus oil on sauna rocks?

No. HUUM's DROP heater manual says to use sauna fragrances and oils only in the steam water, and that they can catch fire if poured undiluted directly onto the stones. Nikura's safety data sheet gives its Eucalyptus (Chinese) oil a flash point of 45.5 °C.
