🌻Each oil has its own odour intensity
🌻This can be partly to do with its evaporation rate
🌻Top notes are usually more volatile and more intense
🌻Some oils may require you to wait patiently before you can ‘sense it’ within the blend
🌻One way to learn about this in more depth is to practice inhaling several oils and compare their intensity (not all in one go ;-) )
🌻Everyone’s smell preference and intensity of oil will vary
🌻If an essential oils odour is intense, then you may need to use smaller quantities so it does not overpower a blend
🌻With this in mind, add half the amount of the intense oil first, then add the other oils one by one and assess as you go
🌻If you are blending for immediate use, i.e., for an aromatherapy massage, the top notes will be more apparent on application
🌻But when the oils have ‘lived’ with each other for a while, in a blend to use at a later date, then the less intense notes will start to become more apparent
Thank you for reading :-)
