Ahhh… I love the possibilities for adding subtle scents to our home. We use a HVAC diffuser inside our home (click Make Your House Smell Great Every Day With a Whole Home Diffuser for fun tips), and an oil warmer outside on our front entry. I love finding fragrances that are refreshing and that set the tone for the season or holiday.
One of my favorite fragrance oils is Capri Blue Volcano. This scent is citrusy and sugary and is so refreshing! It reminds me of Summer, and it just feels rejuvinating. Everyone who comes to our door comments on the scent and how nice it is.
Because we use this in our HVAC diffuser and in our oil warmer, we go through a LOT of fragrance oil. While I will definitely continue to buy the original Capri Blue Volcano, I was looking for a less expensive scent that smelled just like Volcano. After trying lots of so-called “dupes”, I finally found several that smell just like Volcano! Here are my favorite Capri Blue Volcano dupes – in order of how similar they are to Volcano.

Volcano Island Fragrance Oil by Virginia Candle Supply
This 8-ounce bottle of Volcano Island Fragrance Oil by Virginia Candle Supply smells just like Capri Blue Volcano! Wow! And, it’s the same price as a .5-ounce bottle of the Capri Blue version.
This fragrance oil can be used in waterless HVAC diffusers, as well as in oil warmers. You can also use it to make your own candles, soap, room sprays, lotions, bath bombs, slime, and more.
Better Homes & Gardens Universal Fragrance Oil, Red Lava & Citrus
So incredibly refreshing! This Red Lava & Citrus Universal Fragrance Oil by Better Homes & Gardens is another oil that smells almost identical to the Capri Blue version.
As a universal fragrance oil, this oil can be used in various ways – in ultrasonic diffusers, a warmer, or reed diffuser. This 5-ounce bottle is very affordable!
Volcano (Type) by Crazy Candles
Crazy Candles makes their own dupe called Volcano (Type). This fragrance oil is a little harder to find, but I did find that Crazy Candles sells them on eBay. This fragrance oil smells almost identical to the Capri Blue version. It can be used for scenting candles, for homemade soaps, bath and body products, as well as for diffusing and using in an oil warmer. The bottles are .5-ounce bottles and they are sold as a set of three.
Refreshing your home with fragrance oils is an effortless way to create a welcoming, uplifting atmosphere. They can change the ambiance of your home, and add a burst of freshness, or a touch of elegance. They also help mask or neutralize unwanted smells – making them great for use in a kitchen, bathroom, or mud room. Fragrances have powerful connections to emotions – they can be uplifting and invigorate your senses or be calming and promote relaxation.
TIP: Choose different scents for the season, holiday, or even for the mood you want to enhance.
TIP: Remember that a few drops go a long way. Start small and add more fragrance oil as needed to avoid overwhelming your space.
TIP: High-quality fragrance oils are longer-lasting and have a pleasant aroma without synthetic or harsh undertones.
So there you have it! My top three picks for a fragrance oil that smells amazingly similar to the Capri Blue Volcano scent. If you have another dupe to add to this list, make sure to leave a comment below!
