Introduction
The perfect diffuser blend isn't just about mixing random oils — it's about harmony, intention, and olfactory balance. This guide will help you blend like a pro, with a basic understanding of essential oil notes and proportions.
The 30-50-20 Formula
For balanced blends:
- 30% top notes (bright and light)
- 50% middle notes (full-bodied and balancing)
- 20% base notes (rich and long-lasting)
Steps to Create a Blend
- Decide your goal: Relaxation? Focus? Energy?
- Choose 1–2 oils per note category.
- Start with 5–10 total drops for testing.
- Mix, diffuse, and adjust as needed.
Examples
- Focus Blend: 3 peppermint (top), 5 rosemary (middle), 2 cedarwood (base)
- Cozy Blend: 2 orange, 4 geranium, 2 vanilla
Conclusion
Perfecting a diffuser blend is part science, part art. Don’t be afraid to try new combinations and keep notes of your favorites!
