There are lots of things to consider when blending essential oils together, like the molecules that compose them, energetic affinities, the plant parts from which they are distilled from.... But probably the most important thing is how they smell together. If your blend doesn't smell amazing, no one will use it!

I’m actually planning to make with almond or avocado oil and mixed with essentials oil, but not sure how much of EO should I put on each 3ml bottle or mix all at once before putting into the bottles…

Great tips on placing 3 oils together then smelling them to see if you like the aroma such a brilliant idea thank you! ❤

Hi, thanks for making this great video! I'm having trouble understanding how to refine the blend, and how choosing each oil’s note will help me figure out the right amount for it. Should I put more drops of oil from the strongest note?

@officialamygalper

yes, I usually gage it by aromatic potency - which scent is strongest and lingers, and which scents fade away more quickly.

HiAmy enjoyed your content very much. Im am a total newly so this was very interesting and helpful. It is unclear to me when you determine your drops , now you determine those quantities remain for how much product and what other ingredients. Is it on a nutrial back ground the same for an ounce as it is for higher quantities? Is there a rule of thumb to follow?

@@nancymc1812 so you are making just pure mixes of essential oils? In the 3ml vials? If that's the case, I'd first smell them together and see what resonates , and then try different amounts of each...making sure chamomile is the least amount as it can overpower the other aromas!

Hello, thanks for the info..one question, do you think it's good to use essential oils with carrier oil in a difuser? Or is it better to use just essential oils? For example i have the good samaritan oil with coconut oil as carrier oil but i notice the smell is not strong when put in a diffuser. Thank you

yes..don't add an essential oil that has been diluted in a carrier oil into a diffuser! It won't "diffuse" properly.....so only add pure essential oils.

Top, Middle and Base notes are also a great way to understand the aromatic potency of the oils! But perfumers categorized these - and they blend from a very different lens and perspective than aromatherapists do!

Can we use single carrier oil instead of blending multiple carrier oil and single essential oil like 30 ml carrier oil with 6-8 drops of frankincense oil to make 1 % dilution? Is there any specific reason to add 6-8 drops of essential oil in 30 ml carrier oil? what , if we add more than 6-8 drops in 30 ml. does it harm you? Could you please instruct me what essential oil do you recommend for hair growth and anti wrinkle, spots and freckle for face and body? TIA

yes you can use a single carrier oil! I like to keep essential oil amount low to avoid the possibility of causing any reactions on the skin. Some essential oils are more irritating than others. For scalp cair I'd try rosemary oil, and for antiwrinkle and spots I'd like frankincesne essential oil

for 100 ml container on the scalp I would use only 1% essential oil, so that would be only 1 ml total, or about 20 drops. So you can do a blend of those oils to equal 20 drops!...but I would not add more than 4 drops of peppermint into the blend. Make lavender the highest amount.
