Drop by Drop Pairing

Aromas are known to elicit emotions and memories in all of us. The limbic system, which controls emotions and long-term memories, includes the olfactory lobe, which is about the size of a postage stamp and is responsible for scent.

Imagine yourself heading off to sleep while crafting an olfactory combination of nostalgic joy for yourself. Isn't it charming?
Let's get this party started, shall we?

When it comes to essential oil blends, inhalation is key! People who are new to essential oils and aromatherapy can start generating personal scents by mixing essential oils they enjoy from the first inhalation. This is a great approach to learn about essential oils.

Use your new mixtures in diffusers, soaps, and even room and body sprays to see how they smell. Despite the fact that it's a lot of fun, mixing essential oils is a science and an art that needs some training and experience. When crafting the perfect essential oil mix, having a few instruments on hand comes in handy.

what's blend ?

• mix (different types of the same substance, such as tea, coffee, or spirits) together so as to make a product of the desired quality: the tea is blended using leaves from estates in Sri Lanka, Kenya, India, and Indonesia | my great grandfather blended whisky in Coldstream, in the Scottish Borders.
• put or combine (abstract things) together: I blend basic information for the novice with some scientific gardening for the more experienced.
• merge (a colour) with another so that one is not clearly distinguishable from the other: blend and smudge the darker colours under the bottom lashes.
• [no object] form a harmonious combination: costumes, music, and lighting all blend together beautifully.
• (blend in/into) be an unobtrusive or harmonious part of a greater whole by being similar in appearance or behaviour: she would have to employ a permanent bodyguard in the house, someone who would blend in.

blend | blɛnd |

noun // a mixture of different substances or other things: the chutney is a blend of bananas, raisins, and ginger | Ontario offers a cultural blend you'll find nowhere else on earth.

• a mixture of different types of the same substance: nearly all Scotch whiskies are blends.
• a word made up of parts of two other words and combining their meanings, for example motel from motor and hotel.

verb [with object] // mix (a substance) with another substance so that they combine together: blend the cornflour with a tablespoon of water | verb [no object] : add the grated cheese and blend well.

There are three major notes in every blend:
The top note is the first thing you'll notice in a blend, and it's typically what makes an oil stand out from the others. It appears quickly, has a strong tone, and doesn't linger long. It comes from the scent quickly.
On a perfume testing strip, an essential oil that is classified as a middle note will remain longer (approximately one to two hours). The aroma's "heart" or "bouquet" refers to the blend's middle note.
Fixative or fundamental note: whatever you want. Compared to the first two notes, the blend's bass note arrives considerably later. Adding a touch of something to a mix is what makes it last. Some time or perhaps a complete day after the perfume testing strip has dried, the base note may become apparent in full force. This note, which is also known as the dry out note, aids you in determining how long your essential oil mix will persist. Soaps with strong base notes and effective mixes keep their scent. (A quick reminder: base note is not the same as base oil.) Dilution of essential oils is done with base oils.)

Due to the fact that everyone is different, each individual will have a distinct reaction to a scent based on their own memories associated with it. As mixing essential oils for aromatherapy is a creative and personal activity, keep in mind that you should begin by combining oils you enjoy before moving on to making perfume mixes and other natural goods for the benefit of others.

How to Recognize Aromatic Notes: A Scent Song
The first ability you'll need to master is smelling. Aromatherapists and perfumers organize scents into "notes." Like the notes of a chord, the language is amazingly similar to musical notation.

The top, middle, or base notes of an essential oil can all be found in the same bottle. Remember that oils can include components from all three notes, so each oil will have a top, middle, and base note. This is important to know. Individual oils, on the other hand, can be classified based on their main note. Top notes include things like bergamot Citrus aurantium (L.) var. bergamia. To create a new blend, we select oils from different categories and combine them into one.

PERCEPTION OF SCENT

Determine whether or whether you can categorize your five chosen oils into three distinct categories: top, middle, and bottom notes. There should be at least two top notes, two middle notes, and one bottom note in your composition.

RATIO

Now that you've selected your five essential oils, it's time to think about their fragrance strength. Keep in mind that evaporation rate (the rate at which the fragrance evaporates from the testing strip) and strength are not the same thing.

Adding equal parts of a strong scent to a recipe will result in the strong aroma taking over and overpowering the other ingredients. Combining lavender with Roman chamomile (L.) All. Lavandula angustifolia (Mill) and chamomile nobile

The scent of chamomile is significantly more strong than that of lavender. The lavender needs to make up for the lack of chamomile, else the mixture would be overpowered by it. Four to eight drops of lavender and one drop of chamomile are needed to balance the fragrances of both plants.

To begin, place a few drops of each of the five essential oils you've chosen on five different perfume strips. This will serve as your fragrance wand. Inhale deeply while waving these strips back and forth in front of your nose like a fan. Now is the moment to make adjustments to your blending ratio based on the intensity of the scent.

To help you calculate the proportion of each essential oil in your mix, a decent rule of thumb is to start with 100 drops of the oil. The formula can, of course, be increased or decreased as long as the ratio is maintained. Keep in mind that there is no right or wrong way to mix; this is your creation. Please don't be disheartened if the outcome isn't exactly what you had in mind. A different blog post will cover the topic of using aromatic bloopers for cleaning around the house. To summarize, nothing should be thrown away.

When you're putting your ideas together, have an open mind. Take a deep breath and let the scent guide your next move. You can examine the scent description chart if you're having trouble identifying whether oils are spicy, herbal, green, floral, etc. Take a pause and study the chart instead (below). Always keep in mind that producing the perfect mix isn't a competition. Allow yourself to be guided by your senses and take your time.
