4 Ways to Personalize Your Essential Oil Blends

Essential oils are the perfect, natural antidote to stress or emergencies.  The oils bring a lot of modern pizazz to the art of aromatherapy, kindness to oneself and peace of mind throughout the day.

Here are some great ideas for blending your essential oils in a way that makes you feel like it is your special scent and your particular haven of peace of mind.

Warm Woods with Citrus Zing

Combine warm, woodsy oils like Cedarwood or Fir or Balsam wood with tangy, citrus overtones like Orange, Lemon or Grapefruit. The wood blends give you a grounded, solid feeling of stability and warmth, while the citrus keeps you active, motivated, energetic and feeling footloose and fancy-free.

Always try to balance citrus with something a bit more stable because it is a highly energetic type of fragrance. Spruce and Cypress are also great woods to combine with your zesty citrus.

Deeper Warmth with Light Jasmine

Jasmine is a very light, feminine, airy fragrance and should be worn alone or with a much broader scent like Lavender. Lavender has an intense, earthy warmth that gives an excellent firm deep layer to the fragrance while Jasmine floats high above in a far more light layer.  We love wearing Jasmine as a natural perfume in our diffuser necklaces.

Double Mint Magic

Peppermint and Spearmint make a great pairing. Spearmint has a fresh experience and an almost seductively sweet scent. Peppermint is more intense and produces that deep, intensely cooling sensation which spreads throughout your body. 

Add Fennel to the Double Mint Magic mix to enhance the cooling effect even further. 

Musky Scent with Modern Cool Waters

Patchouli and Myrrh are intense musky fragrances and must be paired with something more refreshing and more free-flowing. Blue Tansy, Cilantro, Melaleuca, Eucalyptus, and Fennel are all very fresh, modern scents which balance out the deep musky tones of Patchouli or Myrrh.  Use a diffuser to fill a room with fragrance which lasts a very long time or wear the oil in a piece of beautiful diffuser jewelry to give you deep feelings of joy and satisfaction.
