Blending essential oils can be a lot of fun, and like all artistic endeavours there are no real right or wrongs. But, knowing how to group and categorise individual oils can be really helpful, so that’s what we’ve done. Below, we have categorised oils by Effect, Scent, and Note.
When blending purely for diffusion you don’t need to worry about diluting the oils. But, for topical application or bath time blends, you will need to introduce a carrier oil to safely dilute your blends before coming into contact with the skin. Please refer to our Topical application guide below, for more information on safely diluting your concoctions.

Base notes represent a blends foundation, and refer to the most enduring essential oils, used to add depth and fullness.
We would always advise purchasing organic, cold-pressed carrier oils from a reputable source. Carrier oils don’t usually cause allergic reactions, but when using on the skin it’s always prudent to perform a patch test, prior to application. If you’re allergic to tree nuts, you should not use oils derived from tree nuts. This includes Sweet Argan Oil, Almond Oil, and Apricot Kernel Oil.
